why did the lady insist on saving herself first? any mother would've prioritized their children... something doesn't add up...

He's gone, sometimes people learn the hard way, this happens a lot. Your car is not a boat, if the road is washed out, don't drown, turn around.

Everyone is wondering how this wasn’t gross negligence and child endangerment.

Why didn’t u go after him?? It’s either we both live or we both dying but wouldn’t let my baby go down alone 😢

[IntrepidFraidyCat]

Too bad she didn’t make sure she had a grip on him (on her back around her neck) before she got out the car. The force of water is strong. 😢

So if he’s the child of 3 why was he the only one going to school?

A kid that small swept away it's going to be needle in a haystack to find it...

[robertmarley]

[TheSpyder]

Unfortunately the odd are against them and feel very sorry for the income she will blame herself forever just because of Mother Nature.. we are so insignificant anyway

[tblcville]

Yea hes 5 years old . Its winter.. even if he made it to shore hypothermia would have taken his life not long after he was swept away. Its been over 24 hrs.. sorry to say but you should have jumped in after him .. how could you not jump in .. your watching your 5 yr old getting swept away and you just sit there yelling his name

[bananadolewhip]

[pajhawj]
