Why Kids Keep Drowning at Summer Camps Despite Staff on Duty

- Roxie Mirabelle Forbes was only 6 when she drowned in the shallow end of her summer camp's pool, and her parents have devoted themselves to trying to make sure other families don't suffer the same loss. Her dad urges parents to carefully consider where they send their kids to summer camp. Her parents say four camp staffers were on lifeguard duty that day, but didn't notice the child floating face down in the water. After another counselor saw her, she was pulled from the pool, but it was too late. The summer camp denies any wrongdoing.
I work at a YMCA. Our facility has a rule where children must pass a swim test and be given a certain colored bands that indicates their skill level and where they go in the pool. We haven't had a single drowning in over a decade because of this safety tactic. Children in coast guard approved floaties must be accompanied by a parent at all times. These precautions save lives and should be implemented more. Another thing we do is that lifeguards rotate every fifteen minutes to a different stand so we don't grow bored and overlook possible hazards.
Ah yes the classic swimming test i remember this when I was younger I failed and had to wear a life vest I barely used it a lot cause I forgot my towel most of the time
Ya. Cues ya we need to hold them accountable but also teach the kids some emergency floating
Also had the swim test and I remember lifeguards being pretty on point
I remember doing that when I was younger, some traditions just never change
They do those same tactics for Girl Scouts
How can you defend 'your actions', & say its not your fault when a CHILD DIES on your watch?!? SERIOUSLY?!?
Ik right USA is a mess
@@lebear2411 as an American I vouch for this statement
@@lebear2411 1 kid dies in 43 years of a summer camp existing and is enough for people to label a whole country a mess but mention how other countries throw people off of building for their beliefs and oh wowow calm down bigot.
hypocrites everywhere.
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

@@lebear2411 Don’t blame an entire Country for a kid drowning
The fact that there was 4 lifeguards and none of them could spot her is terrible they deserved to be sued

@@knucklesskinner253 yeah they definitely need to get arrested
No, not jail, just death.

@@jimmys2338 woah I think that's a little far, I think at most they should get charged with negligent manslaughter
The fact that someone yelled at them is disgusting, just imagine if it was their child, they would be doing the same
The problem with people now is they don't care cause it hasn't happened to them but once the shoe is on the other foot they would expect people to be sympathetic towards them. I feel for these parents and the camp along with the 4 on duty should be charged with child endangerment at the very least.
Maybe they have a child that died in the past and after heading home from work they see this couple protesting and it triggers them to lash out
Jason Voorhees...vibes
@Chuck Bartowski idk man the parent's where not in even a kilometer range of their child that couldn't swim probally at a pool...
EXACTLY 😩‼
And people have the nerve to drive by and ask them to stop. This world is DISGUSTING. My condolences to the poor family
Well it's annoying as hell. Do you want someone to be shouting at the top of their lungs in your yard talking about their baby's death?

Almost died 3x as a kid. I don’t care what you say, NEVER EVER take your eyes off a child in water. So sorry for their lost 😞 Careless ass adults. Hope there was justice.
Careless ass adults as In her parents.
@@flacojody1763 It's not really the parent's fault, how were they supposed to know the camp guys aren't gonna do their job? It's basically those guy's fault for not watching the kid's safety

@@fishyboi7724 it’s the parents fault. If your kid is 6 yrs old. I would never let them get in a pool if they don’t know how to swim idc who’s watching them.
I almost drowned too in the ocean, tbh I wish I did cuz I'm tired of dealing with dumbass humans 24/7
Counselors really need to be watching the water like a hawk.
This will exhaust them for standard size pools.
Rule is to never let kids into pool in others watch. Just think about the consequences before letting your kids go into their care.
That is extremely difficult
This is why parents should be more cautious about idk.... Leaving their kids with complete strangers.
@@a50ftfall6 at my summer camp they had four lifeguards. One above the surface, one with the older kids (who could swim), and the other two with the younger kids who couldn’t swim. Feel like if they just put more people on duty this wouldn’t happen
Yes try and keep track of 50 plus kids
As a former lifeguard this was my worst nightmare, never took my eyes off small kids and clearly bad swimmers, not to mention my club had good safety protocols. Rip
I was a trained lifeguard too. I can say that by what I saw on the security camera of that 3 yo, the way they handled caring for the young swimmers is totally foreign to the way it should be done.
This is why letting my kids swim with others is my biggest fear.
I was a lifeguard too, and a summer camp lifeguard as well. I just don't know how you can miss a child drowning if you're doing headcounts frequently, like you're supposed to. Unfortunately, this can be very difficult when the pool goes over its capacity, and you can barely see the water. If your summer camp has a lot of kids, seperate them into smaller groups, so it's easier to spot everyone in the water. And when you're on Lifeguard duty, act like lifeguard, not a camp counselor, let other staff deal with that. The video they showed though, there is no reason why that was missed.
My brother is a lifeguard he just started 2 months and already saved a kids life. The parents yelled at him and said there kid wasn’t drowning when he clearly was.
"Can you guys stop it already?"
"Our daughter is DEAD."
**Drives off**
Yes, that's what happened. Thanks for the nonsensical regurgitation.
Cowards
guaranteed the coward wouldn't have said anything if he wasn't in the safety of his car.
HAHA
🤢 🤮 I don’t understand people like that. Makes me think they wish they had a sick kid or something - how can you be angry at the grieving parents.
“Oh, they only allowed one child to die.” They say they did nothing wrong???!!!! Seriously!!!????? Sue them for every dime they’ve got!

The best answer yet!
Same with my mother !! My mother has 4 kids and hasn’t left us with anyone , she said she heard a babysitter burn the baby with hot water and ever since she has been scared
I understand that bad things happen to kids and theres accidents like these that should not happen. But not trusting anyone at all? 🤔
To the driver that said “Can you stop it, already! It’s enough.”: If you have the audacity to say that, then the protests aren’t enough.
To the parents: Keep spreading awareness!
What a heartless man...he has no idea what they went through
Teach your children how to swim and this doesn’t happen
He's just encouraging the mom to get an old hockey mask and take matters into her own hands when these teenagers smoke joints and get it on while kids drown. He's probably just some janitor who lives in the basement of an old school anyways.
@@ericv1989 we don't know the full story though
@@brennanreese798 little children can be taught how to swim, they will still drown, and again you're not only disregarding the disrespectfulness from that man, you're disregarding the fact that lifeguards and people that have to be watching children while they're in water should be doing their job properly. You're making excuses because you would probably harass grieving parents as well
These poor parents and kids who have unfortunately passed away. Swimming is so dangerous and it is super important to teach kids water safety.
i was a competitive swimmer from age 5-18 i was with my team swimming at age 10.. and another girl grabbed onto me and started pulling me under. my coach jumped in fully clothed and saved us both. i was a trained swimmer but when someone else was pulling me down i couldn’t do much.
Yes. Also ppl need to understand that NOBODY will watch your child with the same intensity as the child’s parents! When there’s one adult in charge of multiple kids even swimming in the shallow end could become a “dangerous sport”
It’s scary man I worked for summer camps and after schools for years. Half of us can’t swim but they don’t really care the more people that sign up the better
A lot of kids learn this at camp…..
@@LindsayC33 Do you know why that girl was pulling you down? Was she also drowning and tried to grab on to something? Or was she trying to slow you down?
This is why I won't leave my child in anybody's care. Sorry for your loss, such a beautiful little girl.
Right
These counselors better be glad the mom didn’t go crazy and try to kill them like in Friday the 13th
I really thought someone would bring up Jason (Friday 13th) very crudely for a joke but you did it tastefully 👍
Ok kid
😂
Yeah, I was just saying that. And I actually watched part 2 last night.
😂
A driver telling a mother to just stop? What's wrong with some people? I'd listen to her or other parents if there is a potential danger for my child. Nothing is worse than a lil ones funeral.
Agreed. The driver had a bad day. She kept going with her campaign
While it was obvious people were filming too. I assume it was inside edition with them on scene and I doubt their setup blends in.
The lady in the car shouting for them to stop saying it’s enough is a disgusting human being.
Maybe the driver is experiencing something traumatic in life and was negatively effected by their protest and acted out
👏👏👏
@@mybigyear no, they’re just rude and careless. Someone who went through trauma like this wouldn’t tell another person to stop.
Well you see when screaming at someone it causes you to have stress which makes your hair turn white or grey over time then yes
If they'be been screaming at the same people every day, of course those folks don't want to hear it anymore. It is not constructive, just maddening.

@Another Generic Gaming Channel well said
@Another Generic Gaming Channel you’ve just made that up !
@Another Generic Gaming Channel yeah, how dare they inconvenience people to bring awareness to the dangers of these summer camps negligence and the death of their daughter. Never mind it being a public street, freedom of speech, blah blah blah
Poor child and poor parents. This is why you should always be watching someone whenever they're in the water or near water. Rest In Peace Though.
Yeah :(
It's rest in PEACE
@@johnbickerton2598 I don't think that matters right now.
@@CYB3R14 To me, "Rest in Piece" is just disrespectful.
Sorry, I occasionally forget that I live in a world full of morons.

That person is lucky it wasn't me they said that to. Having 2 young daughters.....I can't imagine the rage I'd go into if someone had the audacity to tell ME its enough.
Amen
Actually that person has 1 boy and 2 girls
I’d never forgive myself if a child died on my watch. How can these people act like nothing happened to her?
If it was the other person's child I wonder if she would understand if someone yelled at her "enough already"!?!
He probably doesn't have any kids
.
@@MrPromerican or he want's his kids to be teached on hoe to swim before letting them.
so four counselors were "watching" the pool and NONE of them saw her floating face down?? And the one person who did notice wasn't one the pool monitors?? Yeah those 4 need to be charged as well, simple negligence.
a lot of kids swim face down. its so easy to mistake a person drowning for swimming
@@sparklingfashion6276 people don't tend to swim with their face underwater for 2 minutes 🤦♂️
@@sparklingfashion6276 people don’t “swim” stationary facedown for a long time either
This is why my kids won’t be getting into any type of pool until they learn how to swim.
That should be the case anyway. If they can't swim, don't let them in a pool, even with some kind of floatation device. They should know the basics of swimming before taking the risk.
How would they learn how to swim if you won't let them in a pool until they learn how to swim
Just throw ur child into a body of water and they will immediately freak out and try anything just to get out (but like maybe have someone who knows how to swim near the place ur gonna throw them at incase they drown ;P). It worked with me. The way I learned how to swim was by being thrown off a cliff into a lake when I was 4.
@@Clooover one time they took me to a pool i didnt want to go but everyone did not leave me alone until i entered i almost died it was horrible you fall to the bottom of the pool without breathing and you cant open your eyes and thats why i hate pools
@@drrealdoctor2207 You could teach them in a bathtub or kiddie pool before putting them in an actual pool^

Don't let young swimmers in brackish, high activity waters for starters.
Second, occupancy limit.
I feel so bad for the parents. You’d think that your child would be safe when dropping them off at a supervised summer camp, but apparently that’s not always the case. I commend them for doing everything they can do ensure this doesn’t happen again. Not parent should have to go through that.
She was too young to be left with strangers especially in a pool !!
@@mikebooth5942 yet, the summer program obviously allowed the kid to join the program, so it's still the summer camp responsibility, since they accepted the kid even tho (as you stated) she might be too young.
@@naynesia4953 The parents have some blame too. If some creepy guy in a van told the parents it was safe to leave the child with him in his van, do the parents have any responsibility if something were to happen to the kid?
Children should never be allowed in swimming pools at daycares or camps. Splash pads or sprinklers.
How is a sprinkler gonna kill you
@Orange Fort just teach your kid and suprivsise them yourself no way you need to keep all children away from swimming pools
As a child abused at a summer camp that continues on to this day potentially making more victims,
I STAND WITH YOU.
There should be more than 1 lifeguard watching different sides of pools.
They said there was 4 there, they weren’t paying attention
@@sleepygrle6738 the girl that got arrested had to many kids ....
I was a past lifeguard, and being in an elevated position is the best way to see the whole pool. You see everything and you ONLY pay attention to the pool.
They had 4 on
Parents should be watching their own kids !!!
this hit home to me. i was at a water park and somehow managed to swim to the deep end. there was a lifeguard that looked directly at me and saw me drowning but did nothing. absolutely nothing. i was going under and wasnt able to keep my head above the water thankfully a father with his kid saw me drowning and swam to save me. i will never forget that near death experience. i was taking swim lessons at the time but i was only training in the shallow part. i didn’t learn how to swim in the deep water just yet so i could have easily died if it wasn’t for that father. ever since that accident i have never really trusted lifeguards because he was looking directly at me and did nothing. i was trying to get his attention but like i said he did nothing
I think he thought you could handle it yourself there. I remember I almost drowned when I was young and by the time the lifeguard came I was already floating up on my back breathing heavily with my eyes closed. And that was when I didn't even know how to swim yet here!
I almost drowned in the deep end once. I was trying to get someone’s attention but it didn't work. Thankfully I managed to bring myself back to the surface. I don't know what would have happened that day otherwise.
In some places lifeguards aren't allowed to save people that go into certain sections of the water. Well at least at some beaches, i honestly dont know how it works in water parks
To be fair lots of kids pretend to drown or fake having drowned, im one of em. I was testing to see how convincing it'd be but honestly i was a much better swimmer as a kid lol. -
That lifeguard should've been fired!
They "look forward to a full airing of the facts in court". Wow, what facts? That not 1, not 2, but FOUR people missed this little girl lifeless on the water?
Camp needs to admit they screwed up! Ridiculous!!
IKR, were they too lazy to text for help? SMDH.
Parents too lazy to teach their kid how to swim !!! That's a parent's job !!!
I hope they're shut down. Where do I sign the petition?
@@cameronhaines1544 you have my signature tooo ♥️♥️ justice for the family
I’ve lifeguard before, everyone’s looking more toward the deep end because that’s where all the trouble makers end up. You don’t actually expect anyone to drown in the shallow end with floaters, usually there’s some thrashing.
I used to work at a Summer Camp and this is extremely heartbreaking. These camps do NOT hire qualified people, often literal high school aged children to watch over other children’s lives. That should legitimately be negligence.
They were probably sitting around and talking rather then actually watching the kids. I wasn't even allowed to go to a public pool until my parents knew I could swim.
You have responsible parents! Can't say the same for that 6 year-old!
@@SUGAR_XYLER That is such bull, so blame the parents for the camps negligence. I think not you jerk!!!!!!

@@Noah-Blutael I think the point is kids who can’t swim shouldn’t ever be put there in the first place. To me it poor protocol. Should have staff in the water with small groups of children. And non swimmers should wear floaties.

I would *never* trust my child's life with close friends of mine let alone strangers. Sad to see very young children who cant swim be sent off to camp, their life in the hands of total strangers, and never return.
your right thats why its both the parents fault and the life guards fault. Which parent takes they're kid to a summer camp alone at 6? When I was 5 I was drowning in a 5 foot pool it was the deep end for that pool and the life guard didn't notice my mom fully clothed jumped in and saved me.
The dad is the smart one, just stop giving up your kids to the hands of strangers!
Exactly right! 6 years old is too young to be left alone at camp
Not everyone has that option in life though. Life requires people to work. I can depend on my husband's salary that allows me to stay home with our kids but what does a single mom or dad do or a family with lots of debt? That have to leave their kids with strangers.
@@anniewallace3601 not our issue you put your kid in the hands of a mf stranger with some damn credentials and look what happened

The lifeguards on duty should be in jail for neglect. They literally have one job!
i thought i was the only one who was thinking of this how can the camp say they’ve done no wrong doing when there is 4 “lifeguards” at the pool (bright and very open you can see clearly in the water not like its a murky beach) and they didnt notice a drowning girl yet that is their entire job description i just cant wrap my head around it if someone farther away from the pool vould spot it from looking iver makes you question what the lifeguards were actually doing (as they shouldve been scanning the pool AT LEAST every minute or 30 seconds counting heads)
I guarantee they were all on their phones when those kids drowned.
I agree.
Not necessarily. It may be that there weren't enough lifeguards to watch the number of kids that they have. When you've got a bunch of kids having fun and splashing around in the pool it can be hard to notice which one of them is drowning, especially if you don't have enough lifeguards to look at every single child.
Or reading a book, or flirting with each other or joking around or ten million other things. They were distracted and that's what matters not what by

Seriously?!
Trying to evade losing their business.
If the child can’t swim wear them a life jacket or teach them how to swim
Exactly it’s not like she’s too you I learned how to swim at 5
Exactly. I had a pool in my backyard and I had to wear a life jacket until my parents thought I was a strong enough swimmer without it. Very sad they lost their child. You would think other swimmers would notice even if the lifeguards didn’t.
@@brennanreese798 I am 15 and still don't know to swim

I can dive underwater but idk how to float if the waters to high ;-;
I almost drowned during my gym class' swim unit and the teacher didn't notice. If one of my classmates didn't pull me up I'd be dead
A few years ago I worked at a type of summer camp, I was pretty young and this was my first summer job, I got tasked with watching over the kids swimming at the lake everyday for the whole summer, which I realize later on I should have never accepted. Because I was all alone and had to watch 10-15 kids, where we bathe we can't touch our feet so I had to watch the kids like a hawk, one time the youngest got caught in seaweed and I had to jump in and rescue her. Young summer workers being all alone at a young age, responsible for 10-15 kids in water is an accident waiting to happen.
0:35 i'm a tough guy and hearing him explain it like that actually nearly brought me to tears. What a strong man.
Its disgusting the lack of care some lifeguards have. My mom and I had to save a little girl when i was a kid because the lifeguard was on there phone IN A WAVE POOL, and the kid freaked out so bad she nearly made my mom drown with her forcing her underwater.
We need 10x more training for lifeguards, especially when theyre the only safety the kids have.
How can the camp deny wrong doing? Obviously they failed to provide adequate supervision of the pool area otherwise it wouldn't have happened! There's no gray area here!!!
This is clearly the swimming lifeguards, and instructors fault. Its their job to save children or if not atleast provide some gear to keep the little ones afloat
Yes! Maybe if the kids had arm floats on and each adult stayed with max two kids at all times. I took my daughter to swim lessons at 3 and they showed her how to dive for rings first before swimming.
I don’t think it’s possible for some teenager to have the same focus on a child as that child’s parents. Lifeguards should be working in union with parents. Parents shouldn’t ditch their toddlers for a week.

@@leejay1101 you still do not get it in your scenario there was ONE mom there but in this scenario their was FOUR people and they're actually trained to do this kind of stuff, I've babysit eight kids and can keep them under control if four people can't keep five kids under control then they shouldn't be doing this job and should be held accountable. And you can think whatever you want but one of my favorite places is the water, Ocean or pool whatever I love to swim.
This is why YMCA should be a requires class in every high school. Everyone need to know how to swim, even better if you can save another life as well.
ymca I am an Indian dododo
SHOULD HAVE A CLASS FOR CHILDREN TO INFORM A ADULT IT COUULD SAVVE ONE LIFE
SO THEY INFOR AM OLDER PERSON IF IT SAVES ONE IT IS WORTH IT.
Keep your children with you. Don't trust other people with them.
I feel for them. They look older and she was an only child conceived late in their lives.
I read an article that said "it took 41 years to have this child" she must have been born after years of infertility. Very sad indeed.😞
What a tragedy. The pain must be unbearable. I feel so sorry for the loving parents.
They learned a tough lesson. Never put your child's life in the hands of a stranger. They don't love your child like you do so their attention will be elsewhere at times. While a good parent would always have their eyes on their child when they're swimming in the pool.
The camp is protecting the staff members who failed on that day to make sure none of the children would drown and stand on pool watch duty it seems. If they want to keep their doors open they need to hand over their employees identities for a full investigation. Also that guy who drove by and said those horrible things...that's really suspicious.
Agreed and the summer camp should apologize or there is blood on there hands
@@glowingaxolotl5916 Exactly my thoughts!
Yeah, who would say that with television camera(s) filming? You could become as infamous as the worst "Karens." (Unless your hopes of surviving a lawsuit were already there.)
@@ericv1989 That guy was super sketchy for sure
Counselor's too busy looking at their cell phones and not watching the kids.
?
?
This world is awful, less and less people seem to care, everyone has something to say about something or someone.
😢 You're right. Sad!!
If every parent taught their kids swimming like eating , speaking and self hygiene no kid will ever drown , please do your own job before it’s too late , as a mom I never trusted others even my own family regarding my kids life and safety , two times my baby boy almost drowned while accompanied by his father and once by my nephews, so I made sure my kids learned how to swim after that , may God bless all kids souls 😢
People who know how to swim can still drown.
@@carolinemikaelson1939 you’re literally saying that for the sake of arguing. Of course you can still drown if you know how to swim, but knowing how to swim would definitely reduce those chances dramatically right??
The people that shouted at them to stop already.... Wow
Don’t send your child to summer camp without having them trained to swim, and swim well.
EXACTLY!
That's right grandma
and this is why ima teach my kids how to swim before going. not taking any chances
Even if they can swim, an accident can still happen. That's why the lifeguards need to be watching like a hawk at ALL times.
@@lisamurphy2314 accidents can definitely happen , I got stuck under water one time and I knew how to swim and I couldn't pull myself up if my dad wasn't there I would have died but guess what The Life guard was just chilling and I know he could see me because I was literally splashing my arms everywhere and the people all the way in the hot tub across from us could see me drowning
This is why I won't do summer camp. Young kids watching multiple kids
Not every camp is like this I work at a summer camp,we have wristbands to determine how far they can go in the pool as well as a handful of counselors who will wait at the bottom of the slide to catch them before they go off the water slide
I thought there were adults, too?
This is why I don't leave my kids with anyone. Especially when toddlers don't have a floaty on? C'mon parents.
EXACTLY. Some would say it's being "overprotective", I'd say its called "not being stupid" and/or "PARENTING"
This breaks my heart. This should NEVER happen; the fact FOUR counselors were there and the child still passed, just goes to show how ignorant,irresponsible and saddening this whole thing is.
Rest in peace, sending my love to those poor parents.
I am sorry for your lost. The burden you must carry is heavy.
I will pray for your family.
So tragic... Personally I would never leave my kids in someone else's care - especially around water.
I went to this summer camp, the girl drowned while the pool counselors were attending to a bee sting. Quite a sad incident. Someone should’ve stayed on duty.
That's unfortunate. I feel as though they could have mentioned it
@Carla Contouris I know some of the pool staff took care of the bee sting near the pool. I don’t know about all 4. The pool was quite big and this was before Covid, so the pool was filled to the brim with people. Only 1 or 2 people on guard, it was all just a mess, but this had never happened before, so no one expected anything.
That person that said “that’s enough” is disgusting. I can’t imagine telling that to someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one
That person who said "Stop it already" is disgusting. I would never send my kid to a summer camp.
I remember the one and only time I went to summer camp I almost drowned too and the life guards were on duty just staring at me like 👁👄👁😭😭
"can you stop it already, thats enough"
As if its bothering you, bruh just drive past them and go on with your day.
I’m so sorry for these parents and so angry if I was them I would sue them
Condolences to Roxy’s family and all of the other families affected with similar incidents. 💜🕊
I would never send my kid to camp unless I KNEW they could swim
"Can you stop it already?"
Folks. Tell me who that is please.
How can people tell other people to stop grieving thier child! God bless them and I hope they find peace.
This is soo hard ..rip little baby. Heart breaking
That’s why mu Husband REFUSES ,to leave our 16 month old baby in someone else’s hands…
Yep!! I have a daughter turning 2 soon and i will never leave her alone anywhere, ever.
That's a good idea because its a baby-
I used to work as a camp counselor at a day camp and I never took my eyes off the kids when they were especially swimming. I always made sure each child stayed safe.
Dang, The lifeguard were on duty and did not spot this little girl's floating body
When I was a kid I went to a summer camp one year. I almost drowned. The lifeguards and other staff didn't help. The other kids helped me. I never went back to that camp. Or any for that matter.
It's common sense that tons of kids get abused at camp, stop leaving your kids in other peoples care.
I couldn't imagine sending my 6 yo to a summer camp without me. Then to have that happen, terrible
I didn't learn to swim until I was a teen. At 11 my parents took me to a quarry and there was a sudden drop off. Neither my mom nor my dad noticed me struggling. If my little jack russell didn't come get me I would have drowned. I grabbed her collar and she swam right to shore.
This is why you don’t leave teenagers alone to do an adult’s job.
As a parent this is so scary and heartbreaking.. I couldn't imagine 😪
I would never leave my baby anywhere like that. I will always make sure he's with me ❤️
Ok, this is why Mama Varoohe’s took vengeance. I’m not even joking. Those counselors need to face some kind of punishment!!!! More counselors for the same amount of children.
Parents shouldn’t be ditching toddlers at camps. They’re not nurseries
As someone who has lost a child, my heart aches for you and your family. Sending ❤️
My sons were camp counsellors at the same Summer Camp and from their stories, I don’t think the young counsellors were responsible enough .. they were young people having fun. Certainly not responsible adults.
Yes I can well believe it. A lot of British students go work on Camp America for a summer - the pay is very low, but 18 year olds don't really care as they go for the experience. I don't think kids that age have responsibility etched into their minds and that they're caring for other people's children and exactly what that means.
@@camerachica73 Not only British .. the world over .. recruited overseas!
I would never allow my 6 year old to attend a camp without me present. IJS.
The driver said "Can you stop it already"
If that was me in the situation I would pull out my Gun and shoot his tires
I would praise the driver
@@Bobbyandmog Can you stop it already.
It’s quite simple, if you’re going to have kids keep them at home until they’re old enough to manage certain scenarios by themselves. Six years old going to summer camp, just no!🚫🛑❌
This happens everywhere unfortunately, the older camper were always told to watch the little ones, it was never wracking!
