Thanks, as usual, for a great sideways perspective, Across! ;) The name is making sense now…there’s “with the flow” and “against the flow”, and then there’s…”ACROSS the flow”.

Is the delivering parent or the receiving parent driving? What are they driving? Has either household investigated the safety ratings of the vehicle? Have the seatbelts been inspected? Are the parents traditional? Same sex? Is either household under a single parent? Will the parent(s) even be there? Are he/she/they working? Are he/she/them drinking? Is there alcohol in the house? Are the towels washed? Is there a rollerskate on the stairsteps? Are there non-skid strips on the steps, the pool side, in the pool, on the driveway? Are the knives in the safe? Who has the combination? Is there a sexual predator list posted on the refrigerator including address and picture? Is there a burglar security system? Are all guests provided with emergency contact information? Maybe nobody should have children nor leave the house until the government provides guarantees. What method of transportation is used?

Of course, the kid is JUST AS DEAD...good post, Mel, from the voice of experience! But they don’t make the NEWS, do they, at least not NEARLY as much as if a kid is killed with a bad old GUN.

I do my cadet work with responds to child drownings every single day--not just for swimming pools, but the majority of them are in pools. There's a lot of pools here in Phoenix. But I've yet to respond to a child shooting. Hmmmmm... Interesting you should bring this up, Byron…the fire dept.
