Sad deal 😕

40yo mom w 8yo son hop in a canoe on Chesapeake Bay to retrieve a lost ball (soccer?), get swept away from shore by wind in 2 - 3ft seas.

Capsized canoe found, they were not believed to be wearing life jackets.

I don’t believe in curses but those Kennedy’s sure do seem to get more than their fair share of tragedies...

On the list of things to care about, how does this even deserve a mention?

Kennedys need to get a clue, and find much safer things to do.

Through a degree of stupidity on my part, seven years ago me, my Ex and my nephew got swamped in a canoe by the tidal riptide in about the middle of the lower Hudson, we were all wearing PFD's and were picked up by a passing cabin cruiser within minutes.

Sure was a sobering experience to be looking at all that water from chin level and realizing the river didn't GAF if you lived or died.

I thought most Mothers were overprotective of their children...
Mom was likely guilty of no life jacket for her child. Too bad the child had to suffer her irresponsibility.

Accidents like this don’t just happen, they are caused.

It may have been a stupid thing to do but it was still a very sad and tragic occurrence. All politics aside, a young mother and her eight year old lost their lives.

Indeed.
