[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pictures of the area. This was a tragic mistake, but the child should not have been playing in a foot of this water. The moment the child was heading towards it, the parents should have intervened. It's a sad mistake all around, but this is obviously not play-able water area.

That water looks scary during the day (too dark to see what's lurking), let alone at night. [/quote]

And there are lot of clear signs. I realize the parents probably just wanted to relax and let their guard down, but the moment their child was heading towards the grassy/rocky division between the sand & the water, they should have pulled their child back.

It's not?  It's shallow water, on a family beach, at a safe family resort, that does not say, "No wading," where there are resort-sponsored movies and bonfires. That says, "It's ok to wade," to me.  [/quote]

It's not shallow water. There are signs spaced closely apart that say "no swimming, steep drop off." You have to be pretty dim to think that means it's ok to wade. And no, that seems obviously like water you should not be dipping into - drop off, gators, or just grossness.

There are activities on the beach. There are not water activities. One does not mean the other is ok. [/quote]
