thats sickening... i lifeguard a wading pool and kids always sit on the drain when we drain it.

as a lifeguard, do you not ask/tell the kids to leave when they are doing pool maintenance?  if i were the parents, i would sue the lifeguard and the pool maintenance guy for negligence.  don't mean to pick on you d.cripz - don't take it that way.  perhaps we could use this as a reason to change policy at your pool to prevent this from happening to some other kid.

i'm also wondering if she could get a transplant that would allow her to live a more normal live sans colostomy bag.

That's one strong little girl.

Bennett said doctors had to perform surgery to remove the part of Abigail's intestine that remained following the accident. He said it is likely that she will have to be fed intravenously for the rest of her life.

Bennett said doctors now are concentrating on preventing infection and managing pain, and are also deciding what course to take on further potential medical procedures to treat the injury.

Bennett said Abigail does not yet know the full extent of her injuries. "She knows she's been hurt," he said. "She's a strong little girl. How she extricated herself from that drain I'll never know."

Although some details of the accident are still fuzzy, it is known that Abigail was able to free herself from the drain and get out of the pool on her own without calling for help. As a result, the extent of her injuries wasn't immediately evident to the people near her.

In a message posted on the Caring Bridge, a nonprofit Internet site that offers free Web pages to families of people recovering from illness or injuries, the Taylors said the protective cover on the pool's drain had come off.

If so, the scenario of the injury fits a pattern that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned about in a 2005 report, "Guidelines for Entrapment Hazards: Making Pools and Spas Safer."

According to the report, if a child sits on an open drain, the suction, which can reach several hundred pounds per square inch, can rupture the rectum and eviscerate the child in a matter of seconds.

Is it only me or dosent it seem strange that the girls parents are already suing the pool owners  while their daughter is still at the hospital in serious condition? If it was my daughter i would of not moved from her side at the hospital and suing somebody would be far back in my mind is it only me that finds this fucked or what?
