  1. Stupid parents😠😡🤬

  2. DEMS want to override the Congress and use the 14 th amendment to allow the president to decide the national budget. No need for representation one person will decide what your taxes are and every other law. There are telling BIDEN, taxation WITHOUT representation!! Isn't that what we fought the revolution for. No taxation WITHOUT representation, otherwise King Joe will decide according to Dems

  3. No time to react this water it’s moving fast.😢I would be drowning in the water looking for my kids 😢I feel for the parents because it was a mistake that took their kids life.😢WE OFTEN GO TO LAUGHING BUT I NEVER LET MY DAUGHTERS OR MYSELF IN THE RIVER ITS TO FAST AND EVEN WITH A VEST YOU COULD END UP GETTING HIT BU A JETSKI OR BOUT😢RIP BABY GIRL

  4. Could this be planned? Any parents even with no IQ wouldn’t leave two small kids in the river unattended! RIP!

  5. Well California I don't like you. But this is freaking sad. My prayers go out to the family. 😢💔

  6. Investigation needed on the parents too

    There could be more to the story.. just saying🤷‍♀️

  7. Finally, a rescuer who tells it like it is. I feel badly for the guardians/parents, but they should have known!

  8. I am so sorry to their family and friends. One bad judgements and they will live with this forever. 😢

  9. Children drown in family pools and public beaches. You’ll have to blame the breathing at those sites as well. OR GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE BEFORE YOU FACE TRAGEDY YOURSELVES. Y’all release child molestors so don’t tell me you care about the kid’s swimming now.

  10. Some humans are just dumb af. 🤦‍♂️

  11. Not watching your kids. Someone needs to be responsible for kids at a gathering! Near a river , put floaters or life jackets! Family outs we had all small kids in bright shirts , whistles and an adult at all times!

  12. Bad parenting strikes again.

  13. If parents aren't responsible enough to watch their kids, then they don't need any period

  14. They let their kids in that water?!? Unbelievable and maddening 😡

  15. I'm glad no one got hurt during this river fall 🤣🤣

  16. Heat breaking prayers 🙏 for the family

  17. Let me just say this. No one is accountable for child accidental death. Rather than hating thoss parents who had lost two child. Just give them space and comfort.
    Society is stupid to think every accident comes with charges. There is a fine line to think stupid or smart. And to charge a person if it's reasonable.
    If you were in that situation who had lost a child for your action. Would you want to go to jail or prison bcuz of your carelessness to take care of a child? Every second counts. In those second you look away. You might not see what's going to happen in those moments.
    So be respectful. I just don't like to see how ignorant people are to this day.

  18. The Sheriff wants to punish the parent for being negligent by allowing children in the water but they say nothing about the Children being sexuality manipulated by Democrat public school perverts.

  19. Nonsense parenting is what this is. Is this the only place in nature they can take their precious load to?! Its like putting ice cream under the nose of kids, of course they want a part of it immediately or eventually. These 2 poor kids 😢

  20. Parents should go to Jail for this

  21. Why the river is like 3 times its normal size right now the water is freezing to as well all snow melt

  22. The law-enforcement officer makes a good point… please do not go nearby Or in Dangerous Waters Ocean or Rivers this is very sad😔🙏

  23. Who takes babies near such waters especially after being told for fks sake the snow was 20’ high. So either this is a really stupid person or they meant for this to happen?

  24. Good I think there should be consequences those babies lost their lives. Why would anybody on Earth? Take their children. To water like that there's do people not have common sense? I feel sorry for their parents for what they've lost. But still I hope people stop and think about it next time before. Anybody? Goes. There and and take search? Kids. To a river that's flowing down hard

  25. This right here is why i dont go anywhere 'fun' with my kids. They are fast runners, curious and in a split second can get into trouble

  26. Supervision optional in today's world.

  27. Why would parents allow their children near this body of water. Praying they find the boy soon RIP to the 8 year old who lost her life due to this the parents NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE HERE

  28. BAN ALL CALIFORNIA RIVERS!!!!

  29. yeah those parents need to be charged watch them be junkies too fr

  30. Horrific. Could not imagine

  31. Just have your picnic at Taco Bell . Much safer ….

  32. If the river is closed, don't even go. The whole thing about the river is that you can go in and swim but if it's closed what's the point

  33. Bet they were updating their Facebook an Instagram instead of parenting

  34. Confusion??? Why would parents be charged with child endangerment? And when asylum seekers throw their newborns into the RIO BRAVO those mother are not charged, nor punished? Can somebody explain to me "What is the difference" only US citizens get charged with child neglect/endangerment but the migrants fathers& mothers get a price (stay in the US) for throwing their kids into the river 🤔. Crazy who gets to pick what parents get charged?

  35. Why couldn't their parents drown instead? Hope they go to jail.

  36. They murdered those precious babies.

  37. Anyone can tell that that river has an unimaginably fast current, even the best swimmers wouldn't be able to get out if they tried. Such a horrible and preventable tragedy. I know eveyone is bashing the parents but show a little empathy for them too. Sometimes kids don't listen and do what they want and it costs them their lives.

  38. There should have been a group of 15 or so young women losing their bikini tops when they were jumping off the helicopter landing skids into the water.

  39. I'm just wondering if they were pushed in.

  40. My Prayers Goes Out To The Family😢❤

  41. Praying for you from Gilroy 🙏🕯️
