“Em” McGovern slipped outside of her family’s home unnoticed and drowned in their back yard pool. She was out of her parents’ sight for only a few minutes. Her family had a pool fence that had been left open and she opened a sliding glass door to gain access to the pool area. She was a bright, energetic and independent toddler. Unfortunately her story is not unique. If your toddler goes missing always check the water first as time is critical!
