what a tragedy! how did these angels get into the pool?
every year many kids drown in pools in florida since pools are so common. recently a tiny brother and sister drowned in Jax. because their idiot parents left them home alone! they were babies! and thankfully the parents are being charged.
in this case, nobody knows how it happened, there were precautions in place. the story breaks my heart.

State police plan to review footage from a residential security camera in Lynnfield today, hoping to determine how two precious tots drowned in their backyard swimming pool Saturday, authorities said.
The investigation continues into the presumed accidental drownings of identical twins Veronica and Angelina Andreottola, who despite the valiant efforts of neighbors, police and paramedics could not be saved after they were found floating in the pool.
Carrie Kimball-Monahan, spokeswoman for the Essex District Attorney’s Office, said state troopers will visit the family’s North Shore mansion to request the tapes, potentially the only way to determine how the girls fell into their pool, which is equipped with an electric-powered retractable cover. Investigators want to know how the cover was pulled back.
“It’s obviously unimaginable what that family is going through,” Kimball-Monahan said. “Certainly it has an effect on everyone who’s involved in the investigation.”
Neighbors described a horrifying scene in which the mother’s terrified screams alerted them to the unfolding tragedy. When the first rescuers arrived, Crystal Andreottola, 33, the girls’ mother, had pulled them from the pool and an off-duty police officer who lives nearby was performing CPR.
Family members declined comment yesterday. The girls’ dad, Anthony Andreotolla, is director of the long-established Boston Hides and Furs in Chelsea.
Crystal Andreottola’s online Facebook page depicts a doting stay-at-home mom. The couple also has a third child, 9-month-old Anthony.
