| And, is there a connection to water sports or kayaking (no response necessary). Thanks, Richard Sorry Richard but you get a response! 8-) There most certainly is a connection to kayaking. Just last week we were having the discussion of saving drowning victims. Some of the posters were verbably beaten up for stating common emergency service rules such as "do no harm" and "dont become another victim" while trying to save a drowning person. This man who killed the girl, violated both those rules. I've been following the story when it first hit the news wires. One fo the items that came out in the trial, that I have not seen in the latest new reports, is that the little girl yelled at the man to stop taking off her PFD because she would die. Well he took the PFD and so died. I would like to know if he had been drinking but I have not seen anything on that subject. The little girls death shows what a panic stricken person will do. Later....
