Authorities Monday identified the child who drowned in a back yard Bellevue swimming pool as 2-year-old Katie Ramirez.

Katie was found less than an hour after she and her 14-year-old mentally challenged aunt were reported missing at 2:35 p.m. Saturday. The owners of the pool at 301 Garden Avenue were not home at the time.

The older girl was located near the No Frills supermarket at 1510 Harlan Drive. Police found Katie in the pool at 3:11 p.m. It did not have a proper fence. Bellevue Police say the owners have not yet been ticketed.

Investigators say the two girls had left a home where they were being cared for by Katie's grandmother.

The tragedy has brought up the issue of what's required of private pools.

You just can’t walk into Linda Dworak’s back yard in La Vista. It's been that way for 22 years because Linda has a pool in her back yard. She had to rethink her safety procedures after she heard the news of the toddler’s death.

"Makes you sick, makes you think okay, am I doing everything I can possibly be doing ‘cause we have a grandson that just turned two and we've been rethinking things that before he starts wandering around, what else we should do.”

Linda seems to have everything in place: A high fence with locks on the doors, plenty of safety equipment and two of the most important things, watchful eyes.

"We never let kids back here without an adult. The youngest kids that come back here are my niece and nephew, are 10 and 11 and they have had swimming lessons and they never come back here by themselves.”

Linda works hard to keep her pool beautiful and safe for everyone in her neighborhood and the National Safety Council agrees all the safety procedures in the world are great, but good old-fashioned parenting is better.

"The most important thing is proper supervision so regardless if you follow all the ordinances on your fence, height, latch the fence, you must keep an eye on your children all the time, although it’s very difficult," says the Safety Council’s Tim Tichy.

It might be difficult, but for 22 years, Linda has watched all five of her children and now she’s preparing to keep her grandchild safe.

Channel 6 News checked the regulations in several metro communities and they do vary a little. However, all require a five-to-six foot fence that cannot be climbed.
