wotsdermatter Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Lived in Bang Saen for a year and the waves shown on the video were nothing unusual and not particularly "high" as mentioned. Why did the person doing the CPR suddenly stop as he appeared to be doing good and stopping endangers the life of the child? Where were the parents and why did they not have the child under control? This incident was preventable and another death could have been easily averted, which fortunately it was due to the intervention of other people. Will the parents learn anything from this? Doubtful. Due to their negligence and lack of awareness of the situation a child suffered unnecessarily and endangered the lives of other people, the rescuers. 4 hours ago, webfact said: Rescue official Kittipong Traibun said that those who helped would be given awards. Most of the "helpers" did not appear to do anything other than just stand around doing nothing useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is why wasn't it the parents who were trying to save the girl? Help yourself instead of screaming, "My baby! Someone save my baby!!!" I just love people who would rather watch other people do their dirty work rather than do it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably could not swim and did not know how to administer CPR... Well done to all those who saved this young girls life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notasmartassknowitallfarag Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Well done to those people. The satisfaction of saving a life is enough. Rewards are fine but don’t make them a prequisite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
