Just generalizing, in many cases its lack of parenting, the schools, and a secular society that makes people feel totally disconnected to others, with no conscience and no drive to do good.
In this case it’s Florida and sure, maybe they should not have gone in the water with the dangers, but to think of multiple kids not calling 911 is pretty sad.
Glad you mentioned the word “conscience”. Less and less our teenagers have them or are taught about them.
You’re right about this major cause of the degeneration of our once civil society.
