It’s about 4 kilometres from the entrance, with long chunks of that flooded. Piping anything in would be a challenge.

Ouch.

Just pipe in some nitrogen and save them the suffering.

edit: That sounds extraordinarily cruel. I hope they make it out so the parents can beat the coach's rear end.

That’s a long loving way just for walking and crawling through a cave. What the gently caress was the coach thinking first off, and how the hell do you even make that underwater?? Kudos to the coach for presumably keeping the kids together and alive but that sounds like a terrible idea even if the cave wasn’t flooded
You're assuming they went that far before things flooded. I think it's likely they were trying to stay in air pockets as it flooded.

Yeah, sending these parents to jail is... Just counter productive.
It wasn't negligence like keeping your child in their crib 24/7 until their bedsores cause a blood infection.
It isn't abuse like whacking them with a towel rack until their skull fractures and sends bone shards into their brain.

It's a horrible, horrible mistake caused by monkey brains being terrible autopilots in some cases.

Yeah this turned out to be bullshit. There was a claim in the search warrant that he admitted to an officer that he looked up child deaths in cars. This same warrant claims his wife said she looked it up as well. This for some reason was never presented at trial and his search history showed he was looking up family trips and cruises. He called a link to the childfree reddit gross. He did look up surviving jail but that's probably because he was banging an underage girl.

He did watch some vet video about heat effects on animals twice but it seemed like a random thing that he came across not someone researching how to murder a child in a car.

Not to say he was a good guy he's a total sleaze that was cheating on his wife with an underage girl but there's pretty much zero proof he killed his kid on purpose. It's clear the cops made stuff up to beef up their search warrant and the media took that and ran with it.

A podcast named Break Down had a whole season about the trial. He should not be in jail for killing his son.

That's interesting I might look it up. I just remember reading about his trial and wondering why it was all about the infidelity and no mention of the search history when that seemed to be every headline previously. Saw like one or two sites talking about what was actually presented at trial.

Guess nobody really wants to go to bat for a guy that did the actual things he did though. Can't say it's a hill I'd die on.

what purpose would probation serve? losing your kid to your own negligence is already a far worse punishment than community service, punishment by the state will do nothing to prevent future accidents, and if the parents did a murder instead of it being a tragic incident of how human brains work then probation isn't justice in that case either. like either probation is too much or too little punishment and i dont see what the point would be beyond "i feel a deep need to punish somebody in some way"

Unfortunately I imagine there's little chance that a constant state of anxiety about it could decrease the chance that it happens. I try to be mindful about it and to make it a habit to check every time consciously, though even that can be prone to failure I'm sure.

Right sentiment, but the burden is for the the state to prove it was deliberate. You can’t “prove” an accident, you can only show the evidence doesn’t support it being deliberate.

The downside is becoming dependent on this. One day the battery dies, it malfunctions, your service plan lapses, it goes off erroneously and you learn to ignore it, etc. There's a ton of products on the market to help prevent these deaths but nothing is a guaranteed fix.

A shoe in the back seat is the free and dirty method but again, nothing is "swiss cheese" proof.

Even if you don't have your kid make it a habit to go into the backset leave your ID card to get into work there or your energy drink or whatever poo poo you somehow find more important than your child and then you'll check it every time

I remember a time when I’d page through my father’s medical journals during breakfast before grade school. Despite my parents keeping a very tight grip on my media consumption, I still managed to render myself mostly immune to gore and body horror. My teachers were always concerned about my extremely violent doodles in class. I was just like, “that’s what would happen if a ninja turtle actually sliced you with a sword.” (I was really into the cartoon and the kid-friendly comics for TMNT) I didn’t see what the big deal was. :shrug:

I still page through my dad’s medical journals occasionally. Nothing like a torn scrotum to start your day!

I developed a similar fascination with medical books after I had chicken pox in 2nd grade, but most of the photos were too disturbing for me. My mom let me read them as much as I wanted because this was clearly a sign I was going to grow up to be a brilliant, rich doctor (spoiler: I didn't). There was this one American Medical Association family medical guide that had all the horrifying pictures in a small section right in the middle, and after I scared myself by accidentally flipping to those too many times, my mom cut those pages out and stuck them in a drawer somewhere.

Almost a decade later, our neighbors had a kid who was entering school, and they asked my mom if she had any old school supplies she could give them... aaaand that's how this poor kindergartner ended up with a folder full of disgusting medical photos.

Back in 1974, a young woman was found murdered in the Stanford University campus church with an ice pick embedded in the back of her head and a three foot long candlestick in her vagina. There have been a shitton of speculation throughout the years, ranging from a satanic cult being involved to her husband (unrelated but he later became a psychologist who worked with traumatized children) or a flutist who was seen in the church on the night of her murder. The truth is far simpler. Earlier this week, a more advanced DNA test proved that the murderer was the campus security guard who discovered her body. Unfortunately(?), he killed himself when the cops showed up to arrest him.
