Las Vegas is a major tourist destination, with millions of people from around the world visiting each month. Since walking is a primary way of getting around Vegas, it makes sense that there are more pedestrians on the streets than in other cities the same size. It also makes sense that the sheer numbers of pedestrians means a higher number of pedestrian accidents.

This week in Boston, a man left his 1-year-old daughter locked in his SUV in a Quincy parking lot outside the MBTA Red Line, forgetting that the sleeping baby was in the back seat. Already on the train, the panicked dad called 911 as soon as he realized his mistake. Thankfully, for once, this all-too-familiar story has a happy ending as police were able to get into the locked vehicle, where the little girl was still safely sleeping on a mild day.

I used to read stories about near-drownings (or worse) every summer and think, "I'm so glad that didn't happen to me." Then it did.
I always watched my kids, so I thought I was safe. Then, last summer, I found my toddler unconscious at the bottom of a hot tub, and I realized just how quickly a child can drown.
I wanted to share this so other parents can learn from what happened to us.
This is our story.
