I completely understand. The signs were up and the beach was closed. Due diligence has been done. It is unfortunate that the girl died, but it is still my opinion that the government should advise and then it is the parent's call - they made a stupid one and now have to live with it.

The litigious nature of this society is the principle problem. People won't own up to their actions. Idiots have the mentality: "Something bad happened to me, it must be someone else's fault."

Also, the village should raise a child, the parents should.
