Toddler falls from a cruise ship.

Such a tragic incident. When on a cruise ship, there are many safety announcements telling passengers not to hold little ones on rails or near open windows. Accidents can happen, but sadly, I suspect there was a very bad error of judgement behind this.

Having just returned from a cruise with our nine month old twin grandchildren, my blood ran cold when I read it. Truly awful.

Read this during my lunch break, absolutely tragic, you have to feel for all involved as from what I've read it was just a freak accident by the grandfather.

How awful! Not only do the parents have to deal with the loss of their child, but the fact that one of their parents caused it. I can't imagine being in a situation like that or how I would cope. The grandfather be distraught too, knowing they were the cause of their grandchild's death. A truly horrible family tragedy
