Multiple agencies arrived on scene and used dive teams, boats and aviation tools to complete a grid search, the sheriff said. A boater returning from a day at sea reported seeing a man in the water to authorities, Chronister said. That man, the one who had been with the child, was recovered from the water deceased.The child was recovered a few minutes later and transported to the hospital, where he died, Chronister said.

Happened Memorial Day off Seaview, WA. The ocean is not to be triffled with.

My condolences🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💜

Breaks my heart and this is exactly why my young children have only been to the beach very seldom so far! I am terrified of anything that may happen to them and my heart aches reading this story. The beach is a beautiful, wonderful place but please remember earth is powerful

We need strict strong current laws put into effect immediately no one needs that strong of a current.

lanemckelvie WTF

Sooo, 3 people?

People don’t respect Mother Nature and the oceans seriously, I always did do, and will!!

Prayers to their families. 🙏🏾

What Jeffrey Toobin said about Zoom scandal on CNN returnThe legal analyst returned to the network eight months after he was fired from The New Yorker for exposing himself during a video meeting. He was masturbating. What is there to “SAY”? I can’t believe CNN brought him back and to have Alisyn Camerota interview him. Who was the fool who thought this was a good idea? I’m done with CNN. Ol’jack is back!…everyone give him a hand jerk…CC

Meghan McCain slams CNN for protecting 'old white male dinosaurs' after Toobin returnThe legal analyst returned to the network eight months after he was caught exposing himself during a work Zoom call. Meghan knows that both Zucker & Toobin are Jewish. Trump is going to do a speaking tour with Bill O’Reilly. I slam ABC News for protecting hyper-privileged white females for all the rude, boorish conduct and tantrums that would have gotten other people, especially people of color, fired from The View posthaste!

Jeffrey Toobin Returns To CNN After Exposing Himself On Zoom CallToobin exposed himself during a Zoom call at work last year, an incident he called “deeply moronic and indefensible” in an interview with CNN Thursday. At least Pee Wee Herman was in a private theater in the dark. This jackass had the green camera light on, with many windows open between meetings? Where is cancel culture now? This is beyond belief. Anybody of color would've never gotten the second chance and they'd be cancelled everywhere.
