   A two-year-old girl died Wednesday after officials say she fell   
   15 feet into a septic tank at an RV Park in Texas and drowned.   
      
   The Rockport Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to the   
   Paradise Lagoons RV resort park in Aransas Pass on Highway 188   
   at around 5:30 p.m. over reports that a child had fallen into a   
   septic tank, Public Information Officer Gillian Cox said in a   
   press release.   
      
   Once on the scene, first responders located Charleigh Nicole   
   Nelson who had fallen approximately 15 feet below into water.   
   Witnesses say they saw the young girl walk on the lid of the   
   tank which then buckled beneath her weight, KRIS reported.   
      
   Family members told the station that they attempted to pull   
   Charleigh to safety before rescue officials arrived using a rope   
   and a backhoe but were unable to reach her.   
      
   Firefighters made several attempted to reach the toddler before   
   eventually receiving help from a specialized rope rescue team   
   which was able to lower a firefighter into the tank. They were   
   able to retrieve Charleigh but approximately an hour had gone by   
   since she first fell in and she was pronounced dead on the   
   scene, Cox said.   
      
   “This is a terrible tragedy for the family of this child, her   
   neighbors who witnessed the event, and all of the 1st responders   
   who assisted in the recovery,” she continued.   
      
   Charleigh’s mother, Brittney Nelson, took to Facebook to thank   
   those who have reached out to them since her daughter’s death.   
      
   “We truly need and appreciate everyone praying. We are in such   
   disbelief but can feel God's spirit around us. We are clinging   
   to each other tonight and have faith that God is going to   
   strengthen us, comfort us and bring us through this,” she said   
   in a post.   
      
   The opening to the tank that Charleigh fell into was less than   
   two feet in diameter, KRIS reported.
