The lawsuit alleges that Abigail was playing in the kiddie pool when she fell and landed on the uncovered suction outlet. She became trapped when the sump created a vacuum and her intestines were pulled out through her rectum, the suit says.




I'll be in the fetal position, crying, for the next hour, if anyone needs me.

I wonder how much evidence is in this suit.

I remember my Dad telling me about the dangers of pool drains as a kid and it scared the living bejeezes out of me. The image of intestines getting sucked out your ass kept me out of the deep end for a while.

wow. that is the 2nd most disgusting thing on the board today.

My phobia about the drains was similar to garbage disposals, like if I got to close I'd lose an arm or a foot or be sucked in and drowned.

Never... EVER... in a million years... would I imagine what happened to that poor little girl.

ugh- cant even imagine what they are going through.
thankful where i am, there are several drains in the pool.

not for nothing, but im sure that the designs of the pool had to be approved by the country club engineers before installation.

That sucks.

Well, the little girl's got "Guts", I'll give her that much.
Lingerrr Longerrrrrr!

Wow, is this really the first thread about this? This happened this past summer and the news channels wouldn't shut up about it for at least a week.

Pretty horrible...I can't even imagine what that pain would be like.
