Yes it is😣. Seems she's more concerned with everyone knowing how they're locals, so there for they're so cool! BE she sent that child into a very dangerous situation without the proper skills and strength. And her smiling about the whole thing while saying it's ok she endangered her child because hey, they're locals is completely disgusting!
Right and then she'd be asking for GoFundMe donations to help bury him. I am going to keep tabs on her to see what other foolishness she gets invo;lved in.
That is just relief, you feel amazing after highly stressful situations that had a good resolution. Of course you would feel incredibly good after that.
"I wasn't strong enough to save both of us" Oh, so you DID know it was a dire situation then ("save")...and she left. Her kid won't ever forget that moment of watching his mom swim off while he's trying to swim back and can't.
Fun fact for casual swimmers like this inexperienced mother and her 10 year old child: if there are 30 surfers out there who have been surfing for decades, the water is very very likely not safe enough for you and your children to be in. They’re out there because of the rips and waves dude, you gotta think...
I’m from a beach town and grew up surfing and skim boarding. I knew a lot of surfers that went out during hurricanes. All of them were on the crazy side. I guess I wasn’t as crazy. Most of these guys were great swimmers and knew what to do in rip currents. This lady said “we are local” like it justifies her decision. I really think some people are from a different planet. Especially taking a kid in that. You notice there is no father around. 🤔
I don't think the rip tide cares if you're a "local" or not. Gah! That woman is the EPITOME of stupidity. Couldn't save her own child & in her very next breath says she can't wait for her son to enjoy swimming in the ocean again.
Exactly! Just because other locals were doing it, didn't give this woman the right to put her child out in harm's way, into a situation that he clearly was NOT ready for....... But for her it was all about how cool they were due to being locals.... How long ago did she move there? Pretty sure a true local would have a lot more respect for the ocean, and be wise enough not to throw a ten year old child out in the sea during a hurricane!!!
Think this mother took in too much water and its affecting her brain....I'll tell you what Ima die trying to rescue my son and make sure that he at least makes it out with his life.
She allowed her 10 year old to swim in dangerous currents “because we’re local”??? Is she nuts? Does she think that living in the area confers some special immunity from being swept out to sea by a riptide? 😵💫
Lost my cousins (12 & 14 & local) in rip current in Lake Michigan. Water stays cold all year long, saps the energy right out. Grandkids can only go thigh high when I[m with.
A grown man experienced surfer experiencing the waves in a hurricane versus a ten year old boy because we are local and?? the Mom is talking crap. You can't compare them.
2:00 Based on mom's facial expressions, her voice, her speech patterns, and what she said, I can say with reasonable scientific accuracy that her IQ is somewhere in the range of 70-85.
Everyone should always have a healthy fear of it, and quite frankly, I worry about some of my friends who are naive enough to not fear it, and who also think they're strong swimmers when they aren't, they've done things that could've easily gotten themselves killed, but for the sheer grace of God they didn't get into trouble.
And chances are excellent that for every youngster who dies because they took the wrong risk living out in the more remote areas of the nation, there are dozens who die because they took the wrong risk living in a dangerous city with so many unnatural hazards and vicious predators. So yes. The people who so easily over-look the risks that they regularly expose their own children to as a matter of course because of where they live, need to climb down off their moral preening perches. I'm sure people do all kinds of absolutely brain-dead dangerous things in our major urban centers numerous times daily, but so far have been lucky and gotten away without mishap.
I normally hate didactic newscasts, but this would have been a great opportunity to inform people that this situation would not have been dangerous had he kid simply turned his board the direction of the longshore current (the way you drift down the beach) and swam out of the ripcurrent . Or even if he just did anything other than what he did. Rip currents are not all that dangerous unless you do what this kid did and panic and start treadmilling in it. Especially if you have a board. Even if he just let it take him all the way to the terminus of the current---which will be just past the breaks in most cases---he has a floatation device to assist him with the extra distance he may have to swim. The panicky response was the real danger in the situation not the ripcurrent. Ripcurrent safety: (A) If you would be incapable of swimming back from a bit past where the waves are breaking, do not go into the water. (B) When getting in the water always note the direction of the longshore current---that is the direction you drift down the beach. (C) If you get caught in a rip current, and do not care to be taken out past the breaks, no big deal, we determined in step (A) that you can handle this even in the worst case scenario. Just turn in the direction of the longshore current, and swim parralel to the beach. When you notice you are no longer drifting out , swim a little furthur, and then start swimming in.
I'd say some of the times where it can be really dangerous for anyone, is when you have the sets breaking in a way that they only carry you so far back to shore each time, and the rip yanks you back out, break in, rip out, and you're in a washing machine as you struggle to parallel out of it. I've seen it a few times, almost killed some really legit boarders too. I get it, though, your advice is solid, and it's still true. 👍
I’m sure he used the camera on the drone which sends live video feed back to the remote control pad to assess the situation and see if someone was in trouble and exactly where he was at, so he could help get him out of trouble with the rip current.
I'm a local on the beach in Florida. Im smart enough to know not to get in on double reds. AND!!!! Especially when a hurricane is coming in. It's putting at risk emergency crews and folks who are willing to go out to bring dumbasses back in. Btw...most locals who rescue don't live to tell about it. They drop DEAD on the beach due to heart attack. Massive cardiac strain on the rescuer.
Awful answer from the Mom, "why you allow a 10 yr old on open ocean during hurricane, -cause we’re locals"🤦🏻♂️. Now she knows ocean doesn’t give a fu..... between locals or outsiders
Maybe after seeing dozens of people trash her mentality, children’s services will help her learn ocean safety for her child’s sake. I guarantee the child learned more than she did.
People who grow up in a city really have no idea of the risks locals in more remote areas take just as a matter of course in their life. Grow up in the Near North we used to tromp around muskeg full of quagmire, dive through "black holes" in the floating mat of vegetation, swim in quarries and under significant waterfalls in hydro-electric dam overflows, "rock climbing" against the current to dive into dark frigid preternaturally-still hydraulic potholes where monster pickerel lurked, play chicken with storm waves washing over jetties and ducking behind the lighthouse to avoid being swept off. All things that would likely get a visiting tourist or weekend warrior in serious trouble. And there is a growing trend for people to come out here on youtube and mock people and call them all kinds of names just because they come across a story about one of them . . . that messes up their emotions to hear about it. Yet each "home territory" has its risks that "the locals" learn to deal with. A 10 y.o. child in the wrong area of the city at the wrong time of day is likely to be in far more danger than this boy. And you don't hear self-righteous country-dwellers saying, "What were you thinking, raising a child in Baltimore, Philly, or LA!".
Many beaches close during hurricanes or only let experienced surfers out. No swimmers, no bodyboarders. The mom has not learned a single thing from this close call. Swimming in a pool or having a home near a beach does not a waterman make. I guess if you live near Yosemite, you can free climb El Capitan.
Zookeeper: Ma'am, your son isn't allowed to hand feed the lions cold cuts through the bars... The Mom: AHEMMM *clears throat* *points to badge on chest* "LOCAL" Zookeeper: A thousand pardons your highness, I didn't recognize you without your horns, I'll fetch you another pound of Boar's Head immediately.
You don’t wear life vests, and then others have to come out to save you. People that don’t practice safety well, endanger the lives of others. Some folks would still be here had they not had to go out and save someone, who wasn’t practicing safety.
She seems enjoying her son almost die in there , what a disconnection of emotions , creepy family , she looks like she’s selling some holidays in Hawaii or something
What in the munchausen by proxy is wrong with this heifer. It seemed like she abandoned her son b/c she couldn’t save herself and her child 🤔 Seems like she likes the attention that came with this reckless danger. Hello, cps…CPS. What lengths will she go to
It's like jumping the 10 foot waves In the florida inlets on a jet ski. If you're local it's a fun sport, but to tourists you look insane. Everyone commenting about the mother probably lives in Kansas
