Toddler falls into church baptistery, drowns

[tay]

Whichever religious function the parents participate in they shouldn't be taking their kids there until the kids are old enough to decide if they want to participate in such functions.


There is a lot of sorrow sowed, in many different ways, by people attempting to indoctrinate their kids..................










Police report a toddler drowned in the baptistery of a Decatur church Friday night.


At 7:44 p.m. Friday night, Decatur Police and Decatur Fire and Rescue received a call of a possible child drowning at the Pentecostal House of Prayer, located at 311 Memorial Dr NW.


Decatur Police say when officers and paramedics arrived, they found Brayden King, 22 months old, unresponsive. Members of the church were performing CPR on King.


First responders transported King to the hospital where he passed away, according to police.


Police believe King fell into the church’s baptistery, which was full of water, where he drowned.


Authorities are investigating the cause of King’s death.

Where were all the people? Why was no one watching this toddler?

You've got to indoctrinate early before critical thinking could usurp your control over their mind.

More kids drown in the US than are killed with guns.

Yup, it's a bitch when your motivations are so easily exposed, isn't it.

My reponse to dasleeper applies to you as well.

Whatever happened to "a little sprinkle" for baptism? What's with the swimming pools?

Many denominations use full immersion baptisms for those of discerning age.

The RCC believes in water poured on the forehead. Many Protestant sects believe in full body immersion.

Really? I thought full body immersion was strictly a Baptist thing. Following from John the Baptist in the river, being reborn.

I have no doubt at all that your "reponse" applies to me as well. Your ignorance and bigotry shine through.


This horrific incident could have happened just as easily at home. The fact that it happened in a Church does not make it any more horrific nor should it be used for small minded bigots to push their limited intellect agenda.

No, there are are the sects beside the Baptists. Southern U.S. more so than other areas.

I can't remember what show it was - maybe the Beverley Hillbillies - where the comparison was made between "dribblers" and "dunkers" re: baptism.

I'd like to know how the kid got into the pool unattended too

I was not aware of that.

Learn something new everyday.

Too many adults each assuming the other was watching the kid.

I guess the guardian angels were on a coffee break.

She didn't mention Christians. You are guilty of jumping to conclusions. Any religious indoctrination of children is brain washing and child abuse. And, I might ad, so is most elementary schooling, TV or political indoctrination.
