Apparently, and as the facts emerge, it seems that the PCSO’s were called by a member of the public who had seen what happened (and presumably didn’t jump in themselves?).

On their arrival, several minutes after the second child had jumped in to the water, there was no sign of anybody on the surface. They were instructed by their control room NOT to go into the water to try to locate the bodies under the surface as it was considered too dangerous – and they were not trained in underwater search.

In the background of all this I am left with a thought.

This ‘water’ was in fact a disused quarry that had become flooded – forming a lake. These quarries are extremely dangerous as the water usually gets really deep right up to the edge and the public are forever being warned NOT to swim in them etc etc because of the danger of drowning.

Why, I ask myself, did the parent(s) of these two young children allow them to ‘play’ in such a dangerous area at all – much less unsupervised???

So now they make a big song and dance (at the inquest) about the PCSO’s allegedly failing to save a life – don’t the parents share any part of the blame in this – or are they completely innocent and it’s all somebody else’s fault???

I have to say i hadnt thought about it this way, i got sucked in with all the media hype about blaming the PCSO’s!

You’re right though, the parents have to take some of the blame leaving them unsupervised like that (if thats what happened – I havent read all the facts)

Its a disgrace. How they stood there and watched him drown is beyond me. lol @ not being trained, its human instinct to help someone in that sort of situation. They should be stripped of their “jobs” :twisted:

Soon as you get a sniffle, best if we put people out of their misery :twisted:

You call being unable to coordinate body movement and mental disability a sniffle?

Its a very serious disease Pebs! Far worse than a “sniffle”

And they are not pets they are bred for meat.

thats precisely my point. They killed the animal, not because it wouldnt recover (as it most likely would have) but because it had lost some of its profitability.

Some animals suffer muscle wastage as a result of this illness and abattoirs might not accept the meat into the food chain.

But, the animals can be treated with anti-biotics and after they have recovered there is no reason why the meat cannot go into the food chain.
