What a shame people continue to be foolish at the tragic expense of children in their care.

I cringe when I see row upon row of these plastic toy boatlets lined up at stores everywhere it seems. I se no flotation in them. They are inherently unstable as well. Just silly dangerous toys.

I would never go in one. They do like toys & it seems that in an emergency you could get stuck & not be able to get out.

I’ll take a larger stable boat with a motor. What an absolute tragedy for this family.

Plastic toy boatlets.

I’ll never forget a similar nearby example of male stupidity.

I live near the northern Gulf of Mexico Coast. Some twenty-five years ago tragedy visited a tourist family renting a gulf-front home.

A tropical storm wasn’t close, but approaching. The winds were 20+ kts, but blowing from the land to offshore, making for flat water at the beach.

The airline pilot husband took his six year old daughter in a plastic nothing toy boat out into the gulf.

Gone.
