Curious - What would you do?

Curious - What would you do?


Friday night I went swimming in the river. There is an actual swimming area, blocked off to keep swimmers and boaters from smacking into one another. It's a "no lifeguard on duty, swim at your own risk" area.

Being as I was there alone (everybody else was there as part of a couple or group of friends or family) I had plenty of time to people watch. It seems I was the only person to see and be upset by two boys, roughly age 7 and 5, go out on a float tube way past the swimming zone. Such that should anything have happened it would have taken time to reach them assuming anybody even noticed. So far as I could tell there was nobody watching the .

Now: What would YOU do if you noticed this? Just let the swim out there, "Not my , not my problem"? Or would you call them in? Or in my case: snag the nearest guy as I have a soft voice, thinking his voice would carry more, and request he call them in. Not that it matters - he said "I think that's his mom right there" and pointed at a woman sitting on shore. There are a dozen reasons I felt certain she had no connection with the at all (validated later when the got out of the water and went right past her to another section of the park). Thankfully the came back in on their own soon after, but I was highly disappointed in the man for having absolutely no caring of the potential risk. Especially as he was there with a baby himself.

I was raised by a mom who made every her business. Besides her , her step , all her friends , her friends, neighborhood and she babysat... A needs all the encouragement, support, and good guidance to become a good human. My mom even saw some riding bikes between traffic once and when she yelled at them to stop and they didn't... she took off running. Caught them on their bicycles, chained their bikes together to a sign post and called the police to take them home to make sure they got home safe. It doesn't matter whose is in danger: you make sure they are safe and gain knowledge for future choices.

I'm with you, I once was a lifeguard so I would have gone in after them.

Kudos

Thanks for commenting. I was caught in "They're not my kids, they seem fine, no imminent danger, but what if something went wrong?" Glad to hear others feel the same.

LOL She can be I'm still a bit scared of her LOL... when I was in my 20's working my first job coworkers were all scoffing "you're 20 and still scared of your mom?" and a coworker/life-long family friend piped up "I'm older than DSK and *I* am scared of her mom!"

Did they look like they were part seal? I was pretty confident in the pool at 7.

I'm sure they were confident. But how many "confident" people drown?

Unfortunately us "older" adults grew up in a time when you did as you were told by ANY adult. There was respect and common sense. In today's society of "mind your own business" and "I'm not getting involved" people just don't give a shit any more. I am quite certain had someone yelled out at those kids to come back in they would have basically said 'fuck you' and went about their merry way. I'd even go as far as to say had you said something to the mom she would have said 'they're fine, mind your own business'.

Quite a sad state of affairs indeed

Everyone is on a different plane of intelligence. Some people's plane has not taken off yet!!

Honestly, I suspect the kids were there on their own, no parental supervision around at all. But I could be wrong. I only know that I was 100% certain the woman sitting on the picnic table was in no way connected to the two kids even before they got out of the water.

I typically try not to say anything, but sometimes the potential risk is just too much.

Sadly my friend, that is the world we live in now. Our kids are not raised by the neighborhood, they are raised by the TV or video games. I've seen if in every place I have lived in too many cities and towns across this country. Once the bleeding hearts made it impossible to discipline our own children, and not every parent beat their kids, that seemed to have allowed current parents to say, "fine, if I can't yell at them or beat them, I'll just let them do as they please"> Harsh view, yes, but has anyone looked into a study of comparing the average age of young men in prison today with those from say, 20 years ago? How about 30 years? I bet my life there is a BIG different!

Okay, off my soapbox!

Speaking of being raised by the neighborhood... When I was in Egypt I got to watch the neighborhood interact with a friend's 1/2 Egyptian kids. EVERYbody watched them. The 60 yr old guy at the shop next door came out and played soccer with them, every man was high-fiving them and playing and watching out for them while my friend and I shopped. It was great.

Not quite the same as discipline but... still cool to see.

I have a friend that his 32 yr old gf is being totally controlled by her 6 yr old son I fear for his future.

I think I would have figured out who the mother was and I would gone up to her and pointed out the possible danger her kids could have been in, but I probably wouldn't have been very nice about it because when my daughter was younger and in the "playful" age, I ALWAYS knew where she was and what she was doing so I could keep her safe while allowing her to have some fun and a little bit of freedom. I think you did the right thing.

Is is so sad how parents seem to be so preoccupied with their own lives these days and seem to be so neglectful of their kids. It is so prevalent!!

I don't even know if they had parental guidance. The woman that was pointed out to me was certainly not their mom. She was with 2 female friends just hanging out. The 2 friends had swim suits, the other woman apparently met them after work as she was in business attire. Blouse and skirt but could lift the skirt and go in to her knees. She was obviously sans kids (as I was watching). Everybody else was too far away ...

Still: I'm glad everyone feels I did the right thing I always feel a little "Dang it, I'm stepping on somebody's toes"

I hate that situation. At times, parents are so clueless and/ro dumb. I would watch them and get in the water nearby. Most people don't know the dynamics of river water and moving water.
