Jessica Meuse was robbed.

Without meaning to sound horrible, I do honestly wonder why the parents were allowing their children out in this weather? Especially the 6 year old.

Exactly. I wouldn’t necessarily blame the parents.

I don't think in situations like this you can blame parents necessarily - no one is psychic and the benefit of hindsight has to be taken into consideration - BUT - I don't think people should shy away from saying that lessons should be learned from this, which is what can happen if there's a dogged insistence that "nothing could have been done differently".
For one people (parents, schools, peers) need to be very clear on the dangers of cold weather ESPECIALLY around water - I honestly think that because of our modern comforts there's an element of people being complacent or too comfortable when it comes to extreme weather. Below-zero temperatures kill people. It's that simple... being outdoors in those temperatures carries an inherent risk. Now I'm not saying kids shouldn't be playing out in the snow but they should always be in groups because even a minor fall and getting hurt/stuck could kill or have serious health implications quite quickly in these sorts of temperatures. In groups someone can go and get help. In terms of this situation, quite simply it's NEVER safe for ANYONE to be around deep water in freezing temperatures. Not alone, not in a group, not even with adults around. I know that kids often disregard risk, but honestly I do suspect that these poor boys had no idea how much danger they were in, and from the sounds of some of the statements, the adults who knew they were out playing around the lake had no real conception of how dangerous it was either. I don't blame the parents but this could, potentially, have been avoided if the kids themselves were more aware of the level of risk, and if parents etc. were more aware of the general risks of extremely cold weather. The parents themselves don't need to hear that at this time, that helps no one, BUT other parents - and other kids - do need to hear it. |

POW! BLAM!

^ agree with everything TS said.
When kids ask if they can go play in the snow, the last thing you expect is that they'll fall into a frozen lake. And as TS said, therein lies the problem - it wasn't even seen as a possibility or danger, not even by the parents. |

Given we haven’t had temps like this or proper snow in many areas for acdecade some of these kids will never have seen frozen lakes before

That was my thinking - I feel like the dangers of falling though ice was much more common knowledge for kids at one point, when lakes more regularly froze over in winter, and when (let's face it) more kids played outdoors more regularly.

Its all so terribly sad and like Cherie i feel brothers have also been involved and have also lost their lives. Totally devastating for these families, i'm sure all our hearts go out to them.

Poor little rascals. So sad. Why weren’t they educated of the danger?
