Toddlers Drown In Canal As Mother Swats Bee

The twins' mother jumped into the Arizona waterway to try to save her boys, but the pram was swept away by the strong current.

Two toddlers drowned when their stroller rolled into an Arizona canal as their mother tried to shoo away a bee, police said.

 

Alexis Keslar was walking with her 18-month-old twins, Silas and Eli Keslar, along the waterway in Yuma when she momentarily let go of the buggy to fend off the buzzing insect.

"The stroller rolled away from her into the canal, with the boys belted in the seat," police said.

Ms Keslar jumped into the waterway on Friday to try to rescue her children, authorities said, but the strong current washed away the stroller.

The twins were found after an hour's search

The distraught mother called for help after clambering out of the canal's steep sides, police said.

Canal managers stemmed the water flow to help rescuers, who found the boys after searching for about an hour.

The twins were flown to a hospital, but were pronounced dead, police said.

Yuma's canal paths are popular recreational areas, but authorities say they can be dangerous.

"Many people typically do not comprehend how swift the current in these canals are and how deep the water can be," Yuma police said.

"They also do not realise how difficult it is to climb back up many of the canal embankments."

The medical examiner determined the deaths were accidental drownings.

 People can be so cruel. The mother is in Hell right now. Is that not enough?

I read the story yesterday...glad I don't have Facebook.

Some people are deathly afraid of bees. And, the normal reaction is to swat at the bee. It is just a terrible tragedy.

Two points:

A. This situation is VASTLY different from the parents who accidentally left their kids in a hot car. This was a split second occurrence. We all have them.

B. This also shows that despite all our efforts to protect kids--many to the point of absurdity--kids will still die in tragic accidents.

Yes Husker. It was a split second. A sad tragic second in time.
