Child drowns at Bridgeview public pool-who is to blame?

Tragedy struck in Bridgeview On June 17, 2014 when a six-year-old child drown in the shallow end of a public pool. There were 300 people in the pool including 10 chaperones.  How could this happen?  The short answer is that it shouldn’t have happened if lifeguards and chaperones and the organization sponsoring the pool outing were not negligent.  Negligence is when people fail to do what a reasonable person would have done.
