Two children drowned and a third was hospitalized after falling into a pool at a San Jose day care center based in a home on Monday morning, police said.
Neighbors say they're shocked and saddened over the deaths of two children who appeared to have drowned in the backyard pool of a home day care center in San Jose's Almaden neighborhood.Police said they were summoned to a home on the 1000 block of Fleetwood Drive to perform a wellness check at 9:05 a.m. Its website says it a licensed home day care that is "following all safety protocols." The owner did not respond for requests for comment.
"It’s totally unacceptable. Three children at the same time? What the heck? Where were the parents or the caregivers?" asked Nadina Riggsbee, president of the Drowning Prevention Foundation. In 1978, her 2-year-old drowned in her Danville home while under the care of a babysitter. Neighbors said they're in disbelief. One neighbor said he heard a commotion and voices coming from the day care.
"It's very terrible for the parents. It's very heartbreaking," said one neighbor who wanted to remain anonymous. "I have two kids too. I can understand their pain."
