Another Tragic Water Death

Parents, no matter how good a swimmer your kids are is still a challenge for waves and winds on lakes and oceans. Yet, another child is missing and presumed dead in Lake Michigan. He was swimming with four friends when the waves caught him and swept him under water. He is presumed dead. The water conditions and the winds are making it impossible for rescue efforts, which has been call off twice now since Saturday. The lake is rough and more lives could have been jeopardized if the search were to continue.

Why was this 15 year old in the water under such horrific conditions? Because kids do not think it can happen to them. This is the third or fourth case this month where kids on inner tubes or swimming have had to be rescued. You might remember last month I wrote about a girl who was rescued and her condition at last post was still critical. No word since.

The lake and the oceans are unstable. They should be entered with caution. You have to feel for the parents, but you have to wonder why no one warns them. Keep your kids away from the lakes and oceans while the waters are angry.

As I speak these words, two more children are being pulled out into the lake by the tides. They are safe, someone got them out. Why are parents not putting a stop the kids going to the lake period when everyone has to know the lake is unstable for swimming?

Three minutes later, another swimmer in distress. She is out and safe. That is three in the last fifteen minutes. Where are the parents?

What do you think? Would you allow your kids in a lake that very possible has claimed one life yesterday and the same conditions exist today? Would you do that? I want to know. I am curious to what you would say or think.

Kids And Water Be Careful

Unfortunately, summer is here and accidents with kids are already hitting records. The most recent was a near drowning that has left a six-year-old girl in critical condition after three weeks. The six year old was in the lake with her seven-year-old brother while their father was on the beach. Where, I have no idea because they have not officially released the official report.

The two kids walked out the second sand bar, which in all reality was very deep except for the sand bar. Both kids fell off the sand bar into deep waters. A woman walking on the beach rescued the boy and the girl was rescued by three teens on Jet Skis. The six year old was unconscious and received CPR from worker at the Power Plant where the kids where in the water.

Today, she is still in critical condition and no report on how severe her condition is was reported. What is it we say during the summer? Kids need to be watched and taught. If you have not watched the video I posted months ago, please watch it now. Please take the time and learn how to protect your kids around water.
