My prayers will be with the Cunningham family, may his son RIP. Negligence would apear to be of concern here.

Sometimes kids get away from you, last week my daughter snuck upstairs and decided to put on $30 worth of my wife's makeup. Pretty innocuous, but we were like damn, if she can get away from us to do that, what else can happen. It prompted a full day of childproofing. I think the lesson is with little kids, don't own a hot tub or a pool, unless you have a foolproof way of locking them out of it. They're drawn to fun stuff like this.

They tend not to rule negligence on something like this unless there was something appalling going on. The legal system understands that kids get into stuff.
