No, not really. My point is, that everyone is focusing on the fact that she went in without floaties on, which in my opinion is NOT the point at all. The point is that she went in the water without anyone knowing. The danger of forgetting that she didn't have the floaties on is completely different than the fact that she went in the water and no one knew. The rule shouldn't be that she has to wear floaties, the rule for ALL children that they never enter water without explicit permission.
I think both the sitter and the child learned a valuable lesson and thank heavens it turned out just fine.
