To youre point BD, it is certainly nice to warn people if you know something they don't . . . but it doesn't always work.
I was at BT point one sunny summer Saturday, having some fun with bluefish and small bass. There were 2 or 3 young kids playing at the water line (not near it, in it). I advised the mother that this was dangerous. She either ignored me or didn't understand English, and I went back to fishing. Whether I should have or not, I kept an eye on the kids from where I was fishing.
I remember someone died in Gansett a few years ago rescuing someone elses kid. The kid and it's parents survived. The kid was innocent, but the parents? Someone has to give their life because of bad parenting? It's different since it was a kid, but how far do you go to protect someone from their own stupidity? Risk a fight with some drunk and his girlfriend who are too close to the water at Hazard? Why?
