Great article. Thanks for sharing it. Our family witnessed this type of thing several years ago. We were at the beach and several of us were about 70 yards back from the water where the picnic area was. My Father-in-law and Brother-in law were talking, standing in ankle deep water where the kids were swimming. Those of us back at the picnic tables could see my 2 year old neice (who was tiny for her age) had toppled over and was just floating face down in the water. We tried calling to them to get their attention but they just looked at us. Finally a couple guys ran down and pulled her out. She was fine but gave everyone a scare. You just can’t be so oblivious around little ones especially.
I don’t understand why parents/adults are not watching a 2 yr old 100% of the time and be right next to them when in the water.
