Give it a rest and have a heart.
I get so sick of the blame game, especially from people who are just armchair lawyers. Why do we always have to have a culprit?
it’s an accident, for God’s sake. Letting a child wade in water a few feet from you sounds terribly negligent? Really? I guarantee this kind of “neglect” happens thousands of times a day any given place on Earth.
In any case, this was hardly egregious neglect, and you’re just adding insult to injury. These people suffer enough without being spat upon for the “bad parent” label.
It’s the same folks who, after 9/11, bragged and boasted how THEY wouldn’t have let the plane go down. They would’ve this, they would’ve that... Look at me, I’m BETTER than those people.
Repugnant, but I guess it’s a type of human nature to convince ourselves that bad things only happen to bad/dumb/ugly/inferior — pick your “other” - people.
