[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, a parent willing to take all those people to the beach is not planning to supervise much if at all. You can tell by the number of kids the parent is allowing to go. I'd frankly be more worried about riptides and drownings. [/quote]

Drownings?!?

They are teens. Do you supervise them at all times?!?! [/quote]

It’s the ocean Linda, not the local club pool. Here’s a little light reading for you. And teens get even more boneheaded in groups.

Oh sweetie, we all know it's the ocean.  Not everyone is as paranoid as you.

From 1991 to 2021 there were 24 drownings in unguarded Maryland beaches and 2 in guarded beaches
From 1991 to 2021 there were 35 rip current drownings in unguarded Maryland beaches and 18 in guarded.

That is over 30 YEARS and it is ALL AGES!!

Teach your kids how to swim, tell them only guarded beaches, watch the flag colors, and only go in to their waist.

My parents didn't even watch me on the beach growing up and especially when I was a teen.  You all need some Xanax.  No wonder this generation of kids have so much anxiety.  Have parents scared of every darn thing
