i am busy annoying the miami authorities for this statement. 2 little kids drowned in the pool because the mothers 'stepped away'. only i can't get an answer where they 'stepped away' to! the bar? the crack dealer? nobody will answer me. but i'm not quitting. anyone who has a pool is required to put up a fence! i'm going to get an answer and see these women charged with neglect. Two children apparently drowned in a backyard pool on Wednesday in Sunrise after they wandered away from a pair of adults, police said. The girls were rushed to Coral Springs Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead. Neither pool had a barrier. The tragedy in Sunrise occurred before 3 p.m., said Lt. Robert Voss, spokesman for Sunrise police. According to Voss, this is what police believe happened: Marieanne Boucicant, 4, and Taniya Humes, 3, were watching cartoons on TV in a house in the 9400 block of Northwest 45th Court, part of the SpringTree West III community in Sunrise. Marieanne's aunt, Magalie Stirlin, and Taniya's mother, Ashley Humes, were at the home but stepped away, leaving the children alone. When the women returned, the children were gone. They found the girls at the bottom of the backyard pool. The women pulled the children out of the water while a neighbor called 911. Sunrise police arrived and performed CPR until paramedics arrived, police said. Another neighbor, Ruth Caban, knew something was wrong when she heard the commotion. ''We were sitting in my living room, my daughter and I, when we heard the screams,'' said Caban, 43. Her backyard abuts the house where the girls died. When Marieanne's mother, Pierreline Stirlin, arrived at the Sunrise home, she heard the news and collapsed in the street, screaming ``why.'' State law says all new pools must have one of four protection devices: a fence, a safety cover, alarm on doors and windows with pool access, or self-latching, self-locking doors and windows with pool access. But both homes were built before 2000, when the law passed, meaning they may be exempt. Between 2002 and 2004, Broward County led the state in toddler drownings, with 30 deaths, according to a 2007 study from Nova Southeastern University. In 2005, five children younger than 5 drowned, and in 2006 that number grew to seven, according to the Broward County Medical Examiner. ''Unfortunately, you see these things way too often,'' said Voss, of the Sunrise police. ``You never get used to it. It's very emotional.''

Sure hope whatever they "stepped away" for was worth the lives of their children!! The pool fence law seems a little retarted, saying because the houses were pre year 2000 they may be exempt from the law! A pool is a pool, is a pool, no matter what year the house was built!!! If those pools had a fence, those babies would still be alive.

What a shame . 2 young lives lost because of carelessness . Pool accidents happen so quickly . I speak from experience . When my children were pre school I was at a good friends home that had a pool . We were having a cook out family style pool party . So there was very little drinking . Well in about 3 seconds my youngest decided to try to walk on water . Well we all know how that worked out . I am just glad that we were not stupid enough to go inside or next door or something . If we had left the children unattended the outcome would assuredly ben different . But in the end I had a frightened but alive child and a frightened but very wet ME . That was 20 years ago but I can still remember it like it was yesterday . JB

Get them LC you don't step away anywhere when your kids are in water of any kind 1 inch to 4ft they still can drowned in a matter of seconds. We have the same fence law out here in California it saves lives. Out her it doesn't matter when your pool was built or where a fence must be put around it.

Both of those little girls were old enough to have gotten swimming lessens! We had a swimming pool in our back yard in Eugene Oregon when my youngest was only 2 1/2 yrs old. The weekend that we were moving in, I had a private teacher in the BACK YARD teaching Matt how to swim! She was there everyday for three days. NO it didn't cost an arm and a leg either! I got her through the city, she was a lifeguard at the city pool. If you can afford a house with a pool, you can afford to have all your children know how to swim!! As far as the fence, I can't imagine anyone having a pool and not WANTING a fence. What a waste of those young lives.

Stepped away my butt. I used to babysit the 2 year old sone of a friend of mine. I was also the only one ouside family she trusted to take him to the pool at their apartment complex as she knew I would stay right with him in the water. He was a little afraid of it, being the first experience he had with a pool. But by the end of the summer I had him comfortable with paddling around, or jumping in from the edge (as long as I was right there to catch him).

How is it that parents and babysitters continue to step away for "a few minutes" and find children dead in their pools? If they were really only away for 3 to 5 minutes, there would be time to revive the children.
