What troubles me, is how both of them drowned. My attempts to rationalise this are uncomfortable and upsetting - because of the mental images - but I cannot help but wonder. Did one little tot fall in and the other try to help him? Did both of them get into the pond wanting to 'paddle' or suchlike?

It's disturbing.
