You’re absolutely right. I lost my head, read Kathleen, but thought Caroline. In my defense, I did read the whole excerpt before making my boneheaded comment.

Understandable. There are so many damn Kennedys that they all start to run together after a while. :-)

I would still hold out hope for my loved ones.

good think what you think has no impact on me.

[gcparent]

Easier to find if they were wearing life jackets.

[fatima]

Somebody knows more.Maybe they did.

[MinuteGal]

Bump

[gcparent]

Huh???

[Gumdrop]

The child is 8 years old and a boy named Gideon. Sad circumstances for them and the entire Kennedy clan. Somehow it seems as though common sense was never passed down to the descendants of Joseph and Rose Kennedy. They need our prayers and the intervention of Jesus Christ for their safety.

Amen, Gumdrop.

How inconceivably horrible it must for the Kennedy family.......and what anguish they must be experiencing. Prayers up for them.

Maybe they got picked up and are in hiding from an abusive jerk husband?

[moovova]

Having Kennedy in your lane is just a death sentence.

Prayers up

“(SHOULD BE)...making responsible safety decisions for her child.”

I saw in her bio that she was into Social Justice.

Too bad she did not consider the Social Justice of that child she placed in a CANOE apparently without a life jacket and launched off in treacherous conditions.

Its sad they died needlessly and I am going to say- its people like her, highly educated but not a flicker of common sense.

What evidence do you have?

There are several eyewitnesses that stated the mom and her son were having trouble controlling the canoe in rough waters.

[Rummyfan]

It's now a recovery effort. So sad for the child. And the mother, though she should have known better.

Search for JFK’s grand-niece and son, 8, turns to recovery, mom says

[yldstrk]

The only evidence I have is no bodies.

[GOPJ]

That’s a bad sign. Always stay with the canoe...

[JohnBovenmyer]

But had she commented on the corona virus from her lofty perch at Georgetown it would have been taken as gospel by the media.

[Impy]

Drowned while traveling in canoe on choppy waters to retrieve a ball (wtf?) has gotta be the dumbest/most random Kennedy death. I know Sports Authority is probably closed but damn.

The mother cursed her son with “Joseph Kennedy” as a middle name so she proved her worth as a parent long ago.

RIP to the kid who didn’t do anything bad (yet).
