After spending a day at a beach, a family from Virar, including a seven year-old girl, headed towards a resort to wash off the sand and grime accumulated after their day out.

A report in this paper detailed that while the family was washing up, the seven year old girl apparently must have wandered off towards the resort pool. A few minutes later, when the frantic family looked around, they could not spot her. She was finally spotted at the bottom of the pool. She had drowned and died. While a swimming pool may not be enough for the tears of that family, this shows us how one has to be constantly vigilant when with little children, and when picnicking at water bodies or even in resorts with pools. While many resorts do have lifeguards, we do see negligence. At times, there are no lifeguards or the one on duty may have stepped out.
