A four-year-old boy tragically died from drowning in a popular swimming pool in China on Tuesday.The child’s mother, surnamed Xiao, was playing on her mobile phone just feet away as he struggled in water, according to a surveillance video posted by People’s Daily Online on Twitter.
Ms Xiao apparently did not notice her son was drowning as she went to look for the boy in other parts of pool after she put down her phone.The boy and his mother were swimming in a pool in Xianyang, north-west China’s Shaanxi Province, reported Huanqiu.com, an affiliation of People’s Daily.
The woman was standing around three metres (10 feet) from the child when she was checking her handset, the report said.
The video shows that there were seven to eight swimmers in the pool, however none of them noticed the child was drowning.
