10 year old boy drowns, CSOs do nothing!

[Concentric2]

okay.

i am not the greatest swimmer & i would've jumped into save him.
they did the wrong thing.
you do not need to be trained to learn how to jump in the water & save a boy.
wow.
they should feel very guilty.

letting a boy die while they are there watching.

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.

What the hell does the training have to do with anything, plenty of people have saved lifes without "training". Basic human decensy does not requre training, thats a pretty pathetic and cowardly excuse in my opinion.

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.

I'm not judging anyone. Any person there who didn't choose to jump in and try to find him - they did the wrong thing. The thing is though, people will have looked to the CSOs for help, if they don't go in people will probably follow suit.

Surely its unfair to say they did save someone when the other didn't, even a CSO would save a girl they could see ... the point is they coudn't see the boy.

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.

Facts ain't necessarily fair, there just the truth, and thats it. The fishermen DID save the little girl and get her out the water. The CSO's did not. They then proceeded not to even attempt to go in after the other kid. 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.
