[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh hooray more click bait to remind mothers that they aren’t doing enough to keep their kids safe and that their kids will drown if they don’t pick the right color outfit.

This stuff is ridiculous. Please post the article about dry drowning next, where you’re instructed to take your kid immediately to the ER if they get water up their nose. [/quote]

I disagree with this being fear mongering. I didnt know until seeing these images what the difference can be. It's not going to change too much of my life but I will pick the orange or red suit over the blue or green one now. It's just information.[/quote]

These images are not real life. They are very controlled, and created in artificial environments. They exist to make parents click on articles about them, which in turn generates ad revenue. Children do not drown because they are wearing the wrong swimsuit. Children drown because they are unsupervised in water. Full stop. Notice how there are no articles saying that children with black hair, or dark skin, are less likely to drown than children with light skin and light hair? Even though light skin and hair will be less visible under the water? Because that “knowledge” won’t generate revenue or cause parents to purchase more swimsuits.[/quote]
