This is not a defense of the pool idiots. SG, the other side of the coin is being so involved as to cripple your child. It is hard if not impossible to hit the sweet spot where the child is supported but not stifled. Bruces' picture makes the point well. Lil' Pete could stand on that post all day and not hurt herself, while Lil' Griff would "put her eye out " in one unguarded moment.
