Kid should’ve been in a life jacket and within arms reach of mom. But mom should’ve been in one too. This tragedy was preventable.

Aw so sad condolences to family. Remember to bring a life jacket for the those who are not good swimmers to help save lives and tragic situations like this.

RiP terrifying news. Why people go near water if they don't know swimming...... saving took life

Oh no, so heartbreaking.

A parent would do anything for their child if they were in danger. Such a sad outcome to what was supposed to be a nice day by the water. Prayers for both the mom and her family. May she Rest In Peace 🙏🏻
