LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA, Fla. – The oldsters of Sloan Mattingly, the little girl who died after being buried in a sand hollow in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, are talking concerning the tragedy.
It took place on Feb. 20 whilst the circle of relatives from Fort Wayne, Indiana used to be vacationing in South Florida.
The circle of relatives’s two kids, 7-year-old Sloan and 9-year-old Maddox, have been taking part in in a big hollow in the sand when the partitions collapsed.
Maddox used to be stored after being buried as much as his chest, however Sloan used to be underneath the sand for greater than quarter-hour prior to she used to be ready to be dug out.
First responders rushed her to the sanatorium the place she used to be later pronounced useless.
Sloan’s oldsters spoke to ABC News about what took place.
“I have no idea (how this happened),” stated Theresa Mattingly, Sloan’s mom. “That’s a question we have, too. We’re kind of we’re the people that other parents or family members kind of roll their eyes at because we’re a little overprotective most of the time and think of everything. When we go to the beach, we think of water safety. And this never, ever once crossed my mind. And of course, looking now I’m like, oh, of course, and so that part’s really frustrating.”
The complete interview will also be noticed on Thursday on Good Morning America, beginning at 7 a.m. on Local 10.
