The claim to notability for this tragic death is that it eventually led to Federal legislation, presumably the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. It turns out though that this legislation was passed before her death, and there is no evidence to show that one event led to the other.

I am also concerned that while we have a 'do no harm' ethos relating to living people, this article ignores the clearly foreseeable harm to the parents in seeing their child's death discussed in detail by strangers, particularly on their 'responsibility as parents'.

If it is true that this event did lead to legislation, then a mention in that article would be the most appropriate place. Kevin (talk) 00:04, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
