The child participated in group activities in the space. CCTV footage captured the moment one of the monitors placed the child in the pool and soon after he began playing with another girl.

After about three minutes, the video shows that the child is already submerged in the water. In the pictures, the employee still appears near the pool, not even realizing what happened.

After the monitor helps the child, she gives the girl a cardiorespiratory massage and a man appears and tries to help. The firefighters were called and the child was taken to the hospital.

Delegate João de Ataliba said an expert would analyze the site to check whether the pool complies with legal parameters for children’s activities, and that the child would be subjected to a forensic examination to determine whether there were any consequences.
