This beautifully produced video delivers the powerful message in which the Collingsworth family shouts out a tribute and a call to action, in the loving memory of their young son, Josh. Kathy and Blake Collingsworth established a foundation in Josh's name. They have also developed a growing campaign which is designed to teach babies as young as 6 months old to "become the otter" and flip over onto their backs if they encounter a body of water. It only takes a few seconds for our children to elude our supervision- and it only takes a few inches of water in which they can drown. All of the latches, alarms, gates and cameras cannot guarantee that a child cannot elude them. They are mighty ninjas and it is our daunting task to outmaneuver them. Are we up for the challenge? Deepest gratitude to Kathy and Blake Collingsworth for all of the lives you will continue to save.
