Reality:
BY HERSELFThe lazy river loop at the Myrtle Beach resort was about three feet deep; Demi was 3-and-a-half feet tall. Her mother, Destiny Morgan, granted permission for the toddler to go in, then patiently waited for Demi to float back to her through the loop, according to a recently filed wrongful death lawsuit.
The resort, which hugs the beach coastline, is not required by law to have lifeguards at their lazy rivers or pools without slides, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control wrote in an email to CNN. Everywhere there is not a lifeguard, there must be a sign posted saying “No Lifeguard on Duty Swim at Your Own Risk,” the department added.
I understand in the "mom has suffered enough" thing, but if she's suing, maybe a lesson was needed?Shortly after her daughter’s death, Morgan was arrested and charged with unlawful neglect of a child. Nearly three years later, her case was dismissed after prosecutors declined to pursue it.
A witness at the scene of the drowning that night told police she saw a female, who appeared to be Demi’s mother, take the 4-year-old to the pool before walking away, according to a Horry County police report. The witness told police she recognized the adult female because earlier that day, she saw her leave Demi in a hot tub while she went to the beach.
