Three dead after falling through ice

This is the kind of story that really burns my ass... WHERE were the children's parents????? I feel that the parents need to be charged for neglect and/or child endangerment.... This is so wrong. IF the parents would have been watching after these three children, they would be here today...

Three children are dead today after falling through the ice on the Sandusky River. The boys, Da'Vontae Everett, 8, Jay'Den Everett, 7, and Rafael Villanueva, 10, all of Fremont, Ohio, were playing on the ice when it gave way and they fell into the water.

Sandusky Co. Sheriff's deputies received a report that the children had fallen through the ice at 1:23pm on Sunday. Deputies, along with personnel from the Lindsey Fire Department, Ballville Fire and Water-Rescue Department and Sandusky Fire Department, were dispatched to the scene of the incident, near the intersection of Harbor Hill Drive and Shorewood Drive in Sandusky Co. A search immediately began for the children once crews arrived.

After receiving additional assistance from other area agencies, the three children were recovered. Life-saving measures were taken once the children were taken out of the water and they were sent to area hospitals. All three were pronounced dead after arriving at the hospitals.

The incident remains under investigation.

Yep it is really sad to hear things like this but it happens every year, you know we learned about ice and water in school here why don't they practice that in other schools.

They learn it here too, Mike. It's just that some kids don't care about what they learn in school and are going to do what they want to do... There was a little update that they were going on the ice to get dead fish when they fell through and their older brother was with them....

Sounds like a whats learned at home also issue.

Yep yep.. Some parents just don't watch their children like they should any more. But then again, some kids don't listen to their parents like they should either...

Thats just sad.
