It is not that rough. I was there a month ago and it was very calm and my TGFs kids swam no problem. They can swim but seriously something has gone badly wrong here. Can only think the tike panicked or hit his head.

Bingo - rip tide. The fact that adults don't grasp that is bad enough, even worse that they don't think anything wrong about leaving a child, alone, to play in the surf.

That a mother would leave her child unattended in the sea, I thought that would be obvious to most adults.

I remember at 9 years old i was in Menorca swimming, there was an off shore breeze and the red flag was up, i got dragged out quite far but managed to swim back in, my dad came out after me but had to cling on to a rock about 50 metres away from me, nearly killed us both, lucky i was a strong swimmer. That day i learnt to respect the sea.
