I am in agreement with you that the child needed to be supervised instead of letting her go outside of her home.

Such a tender story. I believe there are, still, wise and mature young people out there.

I'm so glad Madison was able to revive the toddler; but she should not have been left alone around a swimming pool.

I know what you mean since if I were in Madison's shoes, I would be in panic mode just seeing my relative out like a light would scare me as well since I have seen these kinds of actions in horror movies.
