[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That horrifying photo of the little boy who drowned. The family was not fleeing from Syria but was leaving Turkey a relatively peacefull country. The family just wants welfare from western countries. Had they stayed in Turkey, that boy would be alive today. [/quote]

I tend to agree. And after being in Turkey long enough for the sister in Canada to pay rent for them, you'd think the parents would have secured life vests. Nearly every news image I see of migrants and/or refugees shows most wearing life jackets. I've seen images of hundreds of discarded life jackets in Greece. Those parents failed their children by not doing something as simple as getting them life jackets. [/quote]

I think they were in Turkey illegally. They are from Syria.  The family was buried there.  I thought the lifejackets were handed to them by Coast Guards and such.  These people are being transported by smugglers , and I seriously doubt these smugglers would give them lifejackets.[/quote]
Exactly. The smugglers discourage lifejackets since they take up room where more people could be crammed in.[/quote]
