I do find these front pages a bit unsettling. Using such unspeakable tragedy to sell papers (and come on... that's what they are doing), it just feels so wrong. Disrespectful, I suppose?
Though I can appreciate that, in this case, there is at least a purpose to their story being widely published as if it makes even one parent be more vigilant with water hazards around their kids then something has come from it. It only takes a little water and a very little time... it's terrifying. last year my (then) 5-year-old on holiday decided that, as she had been going without armbands in the shallow end, she was now an expert swimmer and jumped off the side into 12-foot-deep water. She went straight under and panicked. Luckily we were right there to grab her but it's terrifying, the blink of an eye.
