But they couldn't see him? He was already under. I agree they should have got in and had a look, but it's not like he was right in front of them splashing around shouting help.Quote:

Okay, they're not trained, okay they might lose their job. I am not trained in water rescue, but I'd sure as hell jump in. I'd also sacrifice my job, however important it was to me, to save a little boy's life.
That's regardless of if I could see him or not. If I knew he was in there, it wouldn't make a difference.
it was more important for them to focus on the child th anglers pulled out as they coudn't see the boy, you say that but the anglers weren't trained and they didn't jump in to get him... so don't judge the csos and not judge the others who were there
The anglers (who unlike the csos did save one person from drowning) didnt make up stupid and pathetic excuses though. Thats the difference. Its bad enough the Cso's didnt jump in, but trying to make excuses for it is low by any standard.Quote:

Yeah, I seen that on the new the other day, it's sly, anyone would jump in the water to save someone. They could of done somthing. grr.
Who cares if you couldn't see him? You know he's in there, you know he's drowning but you don't just stand there and wait for others to come a long. Anyway, their main excuse was that they were not trained in water rescue.Quote:

It doesnt mean the anglers are in the right ether, but at least they appear to have done SOMTHING... and im goning to go out on a limb and say i doubt they were trained for that ether.Quote:
