Family of boy who drowned sues Houston Racquet Club
The family of a 4-year-old boy who drowned this summer at the Houston Racquet Club filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the club and four staff members Thursday, saying the facility failed to provide proper adult supervision and adequately trained life guards.
According to the suit, there were 30 to 40 youngsters and teen counselors in the pool with two 15-year-old life guards on duty the morning John died.
The girl was watching over the main pool, while the boy was watching over a slide, Marrs said. The teen counselors and life guards, Marrs said, were socializing instead of watching over the children.
The suit claims John and his brother were at their second day of camp when John's body was discovered floating in the pool. Workers didn't know his name or have any form of identification on him, the suit claims.
Officials had also wrongly told the boy's mother her it was her eldest son who had died, according to the lawsuit.
"She went to identify his body at the hospital," Marrs said. "She was in total morbid shock."
This is heartbreaking and most def they deserve grace. I can not imagine.
A highly dysfunctional family. Isn't it simply heartbreaking? May your brave and courageous authentic journey nourish your beautiful soul!
”Damnit, this calls for a No Kings “protest” #45”

Sounds like she isn't going to pay – maybe FBI has discovered the Bitcoin demand is a scam.
killed and raped?
It's somebody close.
They want Bit Coin Ransom. That is a higher level of sophistication. The house security systems were cancelled. Time date of deactivation would be recorded? Who was in the house at that moment?
So sad. May God bring this lady home safe ♡♡♡

How can it be the son-in-law since it would be impossible for him to send a ransom message from his home, or person for that matter, without being detected.
