I was surprised that I could not find anything about this on here so I am posting a link to it below. I don't know all the facts of this story but I can only assume the child was not wearing a PFD; and if that is the case I sincerely hope they hold at least 1 of the parents responsible for their actions.

That's horrible. I thought kids under 12 were required to be wearing a life jacket while in the boat.+
I'm pretty sure its 14 and and under are requiredQuote:

I was out there that day, but didn't know about it until all of my neighbors (who thought I might have taken my 2 year old fishing with me) blew up my phone with worried texts. I am so paranoid that we usually make the little ones wear life jackets when shore fishing. Thoughts with the family.
Just plain terrible! Prayers going out to all that new the child.
It's really heartbreaking when this happens to an innocent child and bad things tend to happen really fast, especially when this family was out for a fun day on the lake and maybe had their guard down, very sad...prayers going up for the parents and family.
