A Texas mother whose 7-year-old son drowned within arms reach recalled how he slipped under the water unnoticed—as a warning to other parents.

“There’s no splashing, no yelling for help,” wrote Kailey Holian, in an emotional Facebook post. “Nothing about drowning will catch your attention until it’s too late.”
