2 kids drown in QC pool


A bible study turned tragic for two children after they drowned while swimming in a pool at the Watchtower compound of the Jehovah’s Witness in Roosevelt Avenue, San Francisco Del Monte (SFDM), Quezon City on Sunday night, police said yesterday.

Chief Inspector Reynaldo Medina, chief of the Quezon City Police District-General Assignment Section in Camp Karingal, identified the victims as Jen Lorain Napalang, 8 years old; and Darren del Prado, 7; both grade two pupils and residing at 48 Sapocoy St., Barangay Manresa.

Medina said 21-year-old Michelle Napalang, sister of Jen, told police that she and the two children went to the Watchtower for a bible study but before doing so, decided to take their pictures inside the compound.

However, the two disappeared from her sight and minutes later were found floating at a nearby pool at around 5:45 p.m.

The two children were then taken by Watchtower employees to the Capitol Medical Center but were declared dead on arrival by attending doctors.

Medina said the bodies of the victim’s were then transferred to the Philippine National Police-Crime Laboratory for autopsy.

Yeah - it just doesn't sound right.  Accidents happen - but "within minutes"???

They had to be left unsupervised longer than that!  Just seems weird.

 Yes with in minutes !! I lost a cousin within minutes. My wife had a cousin who drown within minutes. Why do you feel that something doesn't sound right ?

Drowning can happen within a matter of minutes. I lost a relative that way.

You'd think Jehovah could have sent two angelic lifeguards to at least perform CPR in time.

OK cheap joke at a terrible news story, I'm sorry.

It takes three minutes to lose consciousness after losing breath and five or six without breathing to start to die, depending on the age of the victim and temp of the water. Drownings do happen quickly. I wonder if one child tried to help the other and they both went under. Especially if the water was over their heads.

I tried to correct my last post, but got an error message. You can lose consciousness before three minutes and your cells start to die after four minutes of oxegen deprivation.

Also of note is the statistic that FHN posted that said 75% of drownings occured when the children had been missing from sight for five minutes or less.

As a mother of four I've had ample experience with the fact that children operate at warp speed.  You can literally turn your back for five seconds and in that time they can dismantle, climb to the top of, destroy, color on, or eat almost anything.

I'm a paranoid parent, and I still haven't managed to avoid them hurting themselves somehow.  (Not badly thank goodness!)

How awful, maybe if they were spending time with the kids, instead their heads were lost in clouds of fantasy of the watchtower. Some might say they are better off dead than growing up as one of them, but I'm not sure. I believe people are people, as a witness or not.

Within minutes

You must understand the filipino's grasp of the english language. They use terms that rarely mean what they are meant to. "Within minutes" could refer to any block of minutes, up to, but less than an hour.

Ok, how long before we fly off the handle and start blaming everyone for something we have little info on? This is my one complaint about the invective here towards the Society. Even legitimate tragedies like this deserve a little objectivity. Me thinks the mother should have kept better watchmbut as has been said here it only takes a few minutes. Eventually it will come out who's fully responsible, but in the mean time can't we just have empathy toward the Mother and her loss?

Down with the Society, don't confuse my objectivity with a lack of dislike for the Washtowell and Bath Society.

Whilst it is tragic that the children died, there is nothing spectacular that it was a Witness compound in which they died. The point is that some unsupervised children drowned in a pool. There is no point trying to make this fodder for negative press about the Witnesses. They do plenty of that on their own in more legimate areas.

The suspicion about children drowning "within minutes" is pathetic. Yes, children (indeed, anyone) can drown "in minutes", in fact, less than five minutes.
