Parents need to be very vigilant if they have a toddler on those docks. I have had my daughter there and knowing how quickly a toddler can move, I’ve gotten a little paranoid about that area.
I am so grateful to hear that the child is expected to make a full recovery. One can be so so vigilant, and be distracted for a mere 2 seconds, or worn out by the constant pace of life these days. Each time I here of such an event, my guard goes up a notch for a short while, so let,s give thanks and encourage those whom we meet day in day out.
