Ontario family files $9M lawsuit after toddler nearly drowns in ice-covered pool
The family of a toddler who nearly died after falling into an ice-covered pool at a home daycare in Petrolia, Ont., is launching a $9-million lawsuit.
The suit said that the doors to the backyard swimming pool had been left open “to air out the Defendant premises following a basement flood.”Provincial police previously said that officers received a report of a child falling into a backyard pool at a home on Juniper Crescent shortly before 3 p.m. on Jan. 24.
The toddler eventually regained a heartbeat and was transferred to London Health Sciences Centre, where he was given a 10 per cent chance of survival. The statement of claim says he “has suffered deterioration of behaviour, cognition, and communicative skills. He has been left with paralysis on his left side, potential blindness in his left eye, communication changes, and issues with his fine motor skills.”Story continues below advertisementThe defendants in the lawsuit are Paula Slaght , the daycare operator; Dani, Brooklyn, Roberto and Maria Maola, the property owners; and the Sarnia-Lambton Children’s Aid Society.
