How a mother's negligence drowns her 4-year-old boy while she was busy texting with her phone

Boy four drowns in China

The rate in which gross negligence is being exhibited by some parents, makes one wonder if having children is becoming a curse in this present generation we find ourselves?

A boy drowned in a swimming pool despite being just metres away from his mother who was busy texting on her phone.

In a video clip which revealed the sad event, the woman had her back turned while her son desperately fought to stay above the water in the background.

She was completely oblivious to what was going on as she seemingly searched for the four-year-old after finishing with her phone.

As the woman walked off, she had no idea that her son was seconds from death and struggling for his life a short distance away.

The incident which happened in China, has been shared hundreds of times on Twitter by people raising awareness of the risks of leaving children unsupervised in water.

The Child Accident Prevention Trust warns that babies and children can “drown silently” in as little as five centimetres of water.

It was also included that: “In the last six years, 30 children under 10 have drowned in a hotel or villa pool abroad. This usually happens when they wander away from their parents and fall into the pool.”
