>Soo Hyeon Park : money will NOT bring the child back


I was standing right next to the woman in the shallow end at the ropes when she noticed her son missing…she called out to her husband in Korean I assume telling him she could no longer ‘see’ her son…she then sent her daughter out of the pool to alert the guards…I watched the entire thing unfold from the moment the mother next to me called out when she couldn’t see him to the end. You can all speculate as much as you want as half of you weren’t even there. 


There’s no reason Graydon doesn’t have dive ready equipment instead of waiting 20 minutes for the Ridgewood Fire Dept. I remember seeing tanks in the 70’s when Mr. Yearing was in charge. Clear water isn’t an answer…a girl just drown in a clear water town pool…noticed by a teen and by the time she was pulled out, she was dead. I agree parents should be JUST as vigilant as life guards. I saw NO fooling around by guards that day and they all did their job professionally. As for losing a brother…I have. I don’t think anyone is being insensitive. I had heard that day at the pool that the 13 year old couldn’t swim in deep water…whether that’s true or not I don’t know. 


I’d like to see Graydon preserved, I remember when kids couldn’t swim in the deep end without passing a test. Perhaps no child should be in the deep end without a bracelet so guards can see who’s sneaking around (cuz kids do, let’s be honest) It was a sad day and all I can say is the mother knew her child was in the deep end or near it and guards can’t see EVERY child every second of the day and that’s why parents should be watching as well. I can’t tell you the answer, but 30 million will NOT bring her child back and it won’t take away any pain or any suffering, but if the town is found guilty, they will have to pay up!
