That's for sure. My daughter lives almost on the beach with her boyfriend and 2 kids. One will be 4 in Aug. and the other will be 5 in Aug. I am forever reminding g her that people don't realize how hea y water is. That beach is a big open Ocean. There are signs everywhere warning of riptides, u dertows, rough seas and current. Different signs often say "no swimming" for those reasons. It looks so violent and I 'm worried about them getting swept in. They go to play in the sand and along the water line and sometimes up to their knees or waist. There are also signs sometimes warning of great whites spotted near shore. The whole thing really scares me.😢
May they rest in peace. Prayers to the family. 🙏

Going to the beach is dangerous. You should take basic lessons about Rip Tides with an instructor. Never fight the rip tide. Swim parallel to the shore in either direction. It won't be long before you are out of the Rip Tide itself. Then get out of the water. Watch the lifeguards station and it would be good if you had someone on shore watching you to alert the lifeguard if you get in trouble.

I swam in many places but never experienced the rip currents like I did when I swam in Daytona. I went out there when nobody else would because I was in great shape and figured I could handle it. I had a couple little grabs, and then one full-blown rip current that grabbed me good. I instinctively swam against it with all my might, at first, then realized, "oh, this is what they talked about when saying swim parallel, lol." I never had one bad enough that I couldn't outswim it or just go straight up to get out of it, before. I was nearly out of energy from the struggle, so I just held my breath and let it take me for a little ride. I ended up pretty far off the shore, but it was a relatively easy swim back, after it let me go. I even went back out there drunk at night to try it again. It was much easier when I knew what to expect, although I drank a little too much alcohol and/or salt water with those waves beating me around in the shallows. I had to give some back.
very very sad, no words can desribe the pain. very unlucky kids. Adults need to exercise real caution and use common sense and avoid taking any risks esp the ones with kids.

I wasn't looking for any because I had zero plans to go in the ocean but at the same time I didn't see any so that's my fault? I think life vests should be mandatory for everyone going in the ocean. I obviously know the risks and don't need a signage or flags. Surely they would not have disobeyed the flag and intentionally put themselves in harm's way or put themselves at risk of drowning.

@@luzt182 are you telling people what they can or can’t say? What if I said you weren’t allowed to say something heartfelt? Humans judge. It’s natural. You can’t deny that what these parents did was a silly thing to do. The truth hurts and people don’t want to admit to it.
There's warning flags on the beach PAY ATTENTION
I am very sad that this happened. Sorry for the family. Such a great loss.
Rip currents can push you down, and if you panic, you can drown. When I was 10, I would go to the beach alone and almost drowned in a rip tide. I calmed and stayed parallel. That was at Redondo Beach. I got on my bike and went home. The ocean is vast and powerful; do not underestimate her force.
At least the kids still have a biological parent that no longer has to fight for custody or pay child support.

Unless of course they were abandoned by that other parent and that parent doesn't want anything to do with them
Ok…but the news people make it sound like these two are the parents of 6 children, he had 2, she had 4…it’s important because these aren’t completely orphaned children…at least they have one surviving parent at home. I’m not saying it’s not difficult, but the facts matter. Hopefully these children have the other parent at home in PA.🙏🏼

As long as he wasn’t a widower and her a widow. Sometimes even if you’re divorced your kids’ other parent dies. More than likely these kids have the other parent and came from a divorced home. The parents of the son who died probably would’ve mentioned it if their two grandsons from their son who died had already lost their mother. They never said that, so it’s probably safe to assume their mom is still alive. Let’s hope the kids of the woman who died have a father who’s alive and apart of their lives.
Were they mentally challenged to ignore the red flag warnings?? Just wondering.

@@francespelletier175 I hear the sea there is quite rough, so surely they would have seen that. And to allow your kids in the water in a red flag area is culpable homicide.
Back when I was in my early twenties, I used to go bodyboarding on the coast of North Carolina. When hurricanes came close to shore, it was time to RIDE! Several times I faced huge waves and very strong currents. Looking back now, I was foolish to do such a thing. But my wits and strength (as well as my Churchill flippers) kept me from being swept out to sea. Now, armed with the information about sharks, riptides and jellyfish…I never go in the ocean anymore.
6 kids left behind 🥀
That water looked crazy
They had those flags up.
What is this world coming to, when people just don’t follow directions… Does a red flag mean anything… or how about a big red stop sign
This is so sad. Prayers for those kids and family. 🙏

Generally people from a land locked area just don’t understand the rules of the ocean. Those of us who grew up on a coast learned from a young age what the rules were, what the flags mean, how and when to swim with currents. These are lake people.

Brianal, please excuse my intrusion, but in the Carolinas a few years ago, a grown man was toppled by a rip current in knee-deep water and swept away to his death. As you probably know, undertows can do much the same thing. That same weekend, a man from our community drowned in a rip current at a NC beach and, in a separate incident, two more community members were swept out to sea but managed to stay afloat and hold on until lifeguards came to their rescue.

Don't have kids if you want to continue doing irresponsible things, so that you don't leave 1/2 dozen kids orphaned with old grandparents.
Red flags were up. He wasn't too smart.

Red flag my ass! Just stay out of the ocean entirely! Have fun on the beach; go swim in the hotel/motel pool, but stay out of the ocean! You can't die from "Jaws" and you can't drown in a rip current if you ain't in the ocean.
I surfed for many years you never fight the current. Current runs parallel to beach go with it until it peters out.

I’ve spent most of my life near the ocean. It is a very unforgiving environment and should be respects as such. I taught my kids about rip currents and what to do if they get caught in one. Thankfully they never had to use it.
