Five Brooklyn day camps (dunno which ones) went to Sahara Sam's today and they nebach found one boy under the water in the kiddie pool.
And if I'm not gonna let my kids ever go to a water park again will I be a maniac!? Plz tell me no. I'm crying away. This mother's pain-- no words.

I saw this in the news this very minute and I’m shattered. Every time my kids go to water parks there’s always this fear lurking in my heart and I never want to give voice to it.
May the family be comforted and may everyone remain safe this summer.

They locked down the part because it's a crime scene and open investigation. Sad

I just had this fear last week when my DS 9 went to Zoom Flume at night with his school. He doesn’t know how to swim (my kids freak out from swimming lessons. We’ve tried) I was so so worried about him but didn’t voice my concern because I didn’t want him to worry . Oy! Hashem should protect us all and provide a nechama to this family.

How come there were no lifeguards?

I’m sure there were. All the water parks have life guards. Maybe the pool was too crowded or something. There’s an investigation going on for that reason to figure out how this happened.
