WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — A minor has been hospitalized following an accidental drowning in Wesley Chapel, according to the Pasco Sheriff’s Office (PSO).

Deputies received reports of a juvenile drowning around 7:40 p.m. on Monday in the Blackhill St. area.

When deputies arrived, they immediately began life-saving measures, then the juvenile was “transported for medical attention.”

Deputies said this was accidental, and no foul play is suspected at this time.

This is an ongoing investigation.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
