Which is why I said let it lie now. Please can everyone just drop it - stop with the confrontation, and let abi have her thread back. If I had made a thread of this nature I'd have been so disappointed to come back and find a war in progress
-
Died..
-
but wasnt this guy blocked??? why is he let back here!! and yes i agree. im sorry abi.
-
I'm sorry to hear that Abby, thats a horrible thing to witness. And about StillSearching, I think he said in another thread that he asked to be blocked.
-
He wasn't banned. He asked to be banned so that he would be less tempted to post.
Unfortunately, some people(Stillsearching) don't understand tact and interpersonal relationships/communication for various reasons.
Perhaps if he had said somthing like this, you guys wouldn't have gotten into such a frenzy.
"Sometimes life serves you bad blows. It's unfortunate, but there is nothing you can do and you have to move on."
-
How about we just shut up about his comment in this thread already and let the thread continue how it should. It's over and done, time to move on.

more like a wolf pack... god save a rougue animal that attacks one of the family.

More like a pack of mods, 4 of which are active that do really nothing but bitch at people who stick up for someone, or try to help. Or did you guys completely ignore the depression thread?I feel bad that Ineligible and sdp are the only ones that really do anything. And to them, I apologize what this thread turned into
-
um... thanks guys.

Abi I am very sorry for what you had to witness, thats something no one should have to go through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and this family.

I'm very active, I don't always post because often times someone already gave the same advice I would so no need to repeat.I'm really sorry that's how you feel about the majority of us mods.

That is cold and rude, bt not as rude as what Im about to say...WHERE IN THR FUCK was the adult supervision ??6 to 7 minutes on the bottom and noone noticed?You have a fucking responsability to watch yur children, and especially around water. Even if they were all playing in the water and this poor little girl drowned, SOMEONE should have noticed her in trouble or at the very least, sooner than 7 minutes on the bottom.What in the fuck is wrong with the world that this shit happens on a regular basis to children? I was in big cotton wood canyon yesterday afternoon taking in a scenic drive and hike before heading home from my weekend. every year 5 or 6 kids drown there from teh fast water from teh run off. EVERY FUCKING YEAR. Its the watershed for the Salt lake Valley, no swimming no wading, and signs every place about watchign your kids and how dangerous the icy high water is and yet every year I see no less than 5 storys on the news about children being swept away and found dead in that canyon.What in teh fuck is wrong with people that let thier children play in the shit?driving up the canyon yesterday to teh trail head for a short hike we saw entire familys and children as young as 3 or 4 out in that fucking water.Its not like back east and the mid west its nto flat, its on fucking hills big hills and that hill is about 14 miles long road wise and about 20 to the source of the water, it moves fast, alot of it is deep, and its in flood stages right now, debri and ice water mving along at a fast rate and its FUCKING DRINKING WATER no dogs in that canyon, no swimming, no wading. Why do I have to see more stories abotu dead children in that water? and how many children will die in home pools this summer because of idiots that cant keep an eye on thier kids and not let them sit for 7 minutes on teh bottom of hte pool?Jesus fuck oh shit oh dear, they are children, they need supervision, there are dangers just waiting to kill them, watch your fucking kids, use your god damned heads!I feel bad for the littel girl that drown in the OP, I even feel bad for her family, but jesus jumped up fucking christ on a crutch, why ws noone watching her?idiots, fucking idiots.

Something similar happened with my family. Before I was born my parents and my sister went on a holiday to Spain, she was 2 years old and they were lounging around the pool. My dad was sitting with my mum, who was 5 months pregnant with me, and my sister wandered off. A minute later my dad realised that she was gone and went looking. He asked around but nobody had seen her, he walked by the pool and he spotted her. She had fallen into the pool and was sinking down to the bottom of the deep end.
He dived in and got her out and she was ok, but he was shocked that nobody even noticed her. After that my parents refused to take us on holidays out of the country until we were older, my first holiday abroad was when I was 8 years old.
-
the family had just arrived and the little girl was anxious to get into the pool. the people throwing the party were giving the parents a tour of the house and they told they're eldest son who was about 17 or 18 to look after his two little sisters and brother till they got back. Which he did a very poor job at because he was chatting it up with his friends. All the kids were at the shallow end, the ball they were playing with went to the other side, she went to go get, slipped and fell. and nobody knew where she was until one of the little kids went underneath. it was a mistake. why are some of you being so harsh about it? as if the family isn't devasted themselves.

it was a mistake. why are some of you being so harsh about it?a mistake?? a mistake is when u wash a red shirt in with a load of white shirts.. that's a mistake. this is a tragedy. a tragedy that could have been prevented. Maybe even see her slip and kept the drawing from happing at all.
Tragedies like pool drawings at parties can be greatly less if people at the parties would pay more attention. Especially with little kids. The fact that u said another little kid saw her down proved none of the adults (her bro included) wasn't paying any attention. It's really sad. Sad they (they = all the adults not just her folks) weren't watching the kid and sad that it happed. Maybe if they were paying more / better attention (or not touring....) then they would have known where she was.
This Tragedy could have been kept from happing (it was a VERY priceful mistake). But unfortunately it didn't. tho I don't know her parents or brother I can put money on it that they are all feeling (or going to feel) very guilty... and it's going to be extreamly hard on them for a long time.
Just today I got chewed out by my dad for swimming in our pond. First he started on me about I need to tell some one b4 I do it and then he went on at me about how I shouldn't swimmy in it unless some one is with me and then he got on me about our swimming rules. And I am a strong swimmer and 19. He was treating me like I was 9. Why? I was alone and there is no telling wut could have happened.
My point.. No matter how good of a swimmer or how old a person is. When ur around water anything could happen and if some one isn't around to help then u drown. -
Very nicely said Caleb.
-
Of course no one jumps down your throat.
Tells me a lot about people here, actually
-
huh? He was attacking the ADULTS who should have been watching. As a parent, I am onboard with all of that, Caleb put it nicer, but still the same point.
I think everyone was upset because you just seemed cold about a death of a child. It is VERY sad...Life goes on, painfully, but it does. You were attacked I think because of the way you put it...

It's ok, no one uses shit, as eloquently as chance....

I want to talk to u
