Another drowning in jpp
Don't know the full details but my stepdad who helps with the fire Dept. Is on scene right now with another drowning victim. I'll try and update as I found out details and welcome help as well .. I'm guessing someone didn't have their vest PFD on when this storm hit...

I heard someone jumped off the bluffs at Elm Hill and didn't come back up

Ok somewhat of an update... There has been 2 drownings today. An 8 not wearing a life jacket slipped off a float over at Smith springs and as posted earlier the 2 nd was at elm hill I don't know if it was the bluffs it not. I'm currently without power and slow data so if this all had been reported on the news I apologize.

I was under the impression that the 8year old was taken to the hospital...I guess they didnt survive?? The second was at the bluffs from what I was told

And where was the mother while the kids were so far out over their heads ? That poor 11 yr old will be carrying the guilt of her sister for the rest of her life. So sad |
No reason to point blame. Terrible situation in both drownings.

I read this article awhile back and it completely changed my attitude. I ask everyone to read this because it may save a life...

Yea I passed that article around on a couple of my boating groups because there was a lot of first time tracker boat owners on their.
It should be a must read... |
Very good article.

good parenting
I may not be the father of the year but my 4 children 11,10,7,7 they don't go near my boat, their kayak or swim in the lake without a life jacket on "properly" They may bitch and whine but its for their own good.
