Shane Keough Comments on Accident
The 32-year-old Newport Coast resident says she was leaving the club in the late afternoon when she turned to say goodbye. She says her 2 1/2 year-old twin girls, Melania and Mackenna, were in their stroller and she thought she had put the brake on, but apparently, she didn’t.
“My husband, Jim, and I were both standing close to the stroller,” she writes. “Within seconds, the stroller had rolled towards the pool and a stroller wheel rolled off the edge of the pool. Before either of us could grab the stroller, a second wheel rolled off the edge, and the stroller went into the pool. Of course, Jim instantly went into the pool.”
She continues, “He grabbed of [sic] the girls himself and lifted both of them out of the water. Because the girls were not strapped into the stroller, and Jim was right there, their heads did not even go under water.
Bellino says the experience has been “mischaracterized in the media” and has been “spun out of control.”
In her post, Bellino said she and her husband have been “reminded to never take our eyes off the children for even a second when near water.”
