Water Safety Urged After 3 Toddlers Drown

Central Ohio Authorities are urging extra vigilance for parents and care providers of small children after the accidental drownings of toddlers in three separate incidents over the weekend. 

On Saturday, 4-year-old Sinaia Moore died in a backyard pool at a birthday party in Columbus. Also Saturday, 4-year-old Sebastion Lee was found in a pond at his family's farm north of Newark in Licking County. And then on Sunday in Licking County, 4-year-old Colton Angus was found dead in the Licking River north of Newark. He had been visiting a relative's house. Safety officials stress constant supervision when kids are near water.
