Heart Broken Girl Drowns After School Doesn't Ask if She Can Swim

Quote:
The New South Wales Department of Education in Australia and a Blue Mountains swimming pool were directly responsible for the "tragic and avoidable" drowning death of a schoolgirl, a NSW coroner found. Eight-year-old Amarni Dirani drowned on a school fun day at the Olympic pool at Glenbrook in December 2006. Handing down his findings at Westmead Coroners' Court Friday, NSW Coroner Carl Milovanovich said Amarni's parents had signed a permission note without indicating whether she could swim, and this was the "catalyst'' for a tragic series of events.

That is truly sad, and the school and pool folks do have responsibility in this. But what about her parents. They signed a permission slip for her to go. Do they not share some of the responsibility? Did they believe this was going to be swimming lessons? Did they just not bother to look at what they were signing?
