State regulators previously cited that daycare multiple times as ktvu brooks jarocz reports. Licensing officials were initially concerned about the backyard pool. State inspectors have visited a happy, happy home daycare on fleetwood drive eight times in less than three years. Records show six citations, including one just last month, a failure to supervise infants as they sleep every 15 minutes. Earlier visits raised questions about the backyard pool, the place two girls under age, two drowned monday. A third child was injured but survived. And San Jose Police are investigating shooting. As a department, we are very much interested in finding out why this occurred. Access issues to the pool were noted during the licensing process, windows that led directly there and a fence that needed modifying and extending four inch gaps at the ends of the fencing had to be closed. Theres not one single solution thats going to completely eliminate the risk that we talk about a multi stage intervention strategy. The National Drowning Prevention Alliance says every year 800 to 1000 children die from drowning. Thats equivalent to about 11 School Busses full of children under the age of 18, preventing tragedy starts with layers of protection. Russian regulators pass the pool fixes at happy, happy home, saying in early 2021, the pool area is inaccessible to children in care. All items that posed a potential threat to the children have been removed and early this year, noting the fence is higher than five feet with a gate thats self latches near the top.

But daycare owners refuse to speak with us as investigators look into what led to this double drowning state regulators would not comment specifically on happy, happy home daycare. San jose police say the joint investigation with the District Attorneys office and the department of family and Childrens Services could take months. In the newsroom, brooks jarocz ktvu. Fox two news. You may have heard it on your phone today in Emergency Alert test. Why federal Officials Say the alert is the best way to keep people safe during an emergency. Former President Trump back in a new york city courtroom today and even though the judge has issued a gag order, the former president is still talking uncle sam said wednesday mornings test of the national Emergency Alert system. The ease would take place at 1120 pacific time all across the country to see how the test worked. We decided to come here to pier 39. Why because theres lots of visitors here and they have telephones from all over the country and really all over the world. Federal regulators prohibit rebroadcasting the alert sound. Some alerts are arriving a few minutes early or a couple of minutes late. The first alert we heard came in at 1117. In this test. Each of three phones that we placed in the same location all received the alert signal. But within a seven second time frame. Seems to work for me. Yeah, it got the information to me. Wherever i am. Leah rawlings lives across the atlantic and has a british cell phone. I was just surprised. I didnt know what it was and why it was going off, and that was it really. We all wondered what was going on, what the noise was. She says other Foreign Tourists received the signal as well. From my perspective, it was a very successful exercise. Mary Ellen Carroll is director of San Franciscos emergency services. So regardless of whether youre visiting or you live here or you work here, there can be emergencies that will impact you. Ias enables authorized officials to issue Emergency Alerts and warnings over many widespread systems, including cell phones, cables, satellite broadcast tv, as well as am and fm radio. The 26 year old system has been improved to the point that its now addressable. That means that it can be put out nationwide or targeted to specific states, regions, counties or cities as localized weather disaster or even amber alerts are put out this way, along with other systems such as nixle. If they can target you by your location, no matter where youre at and it seems like it would work pretty well to me. Yeah, i think thats good. Its good to know if theres a child missing, especially as being a mother myself. Thats a good thing to have the first and most important purpose of is never used so far is to allow the us president to immediately address the nation in times of emergencies, disasters or war.
