I don't even want to imagine that heart ache and heartbreak no parent should ever have to go through this. Lord make a way for Justice to be served FOR THE INNOCENT Amen pour in your peace and blessings OVER AND INTO these families FOR ALL THEY HAVE LOST LORD show your mercy's so they can praise you in and through this storm even in their pain and suffering Lord Jesus make a mighty way AMEN In circumstances such as these it calls us all to pray whether we believe or not we all cry out in agreement for Justice for the innocent.
@@mildlywildfamilygemz1757 I'm sorry to say, but it would have been nice if God had protected them from dying in the first place. There is absolutely nothing good about situations like this.
Many years ago when I was a young teacher a former student of mine and her younger sister went ice skating on a pond on their farm, they fell through the ice and drowned, 12 and 6 years old, their older brother about 14 almost drowned trying to save them, so yes, it is possible for 3 children to find themselves in circumstances that they cannot overcome 😢 💔 Heartfelt sympathy for their parents and other family members.
No words can express my sadness, nor can bring comfort to their families...hearing this never get easier. My prayers, for them for the families and their community.
I remember going out to a creek in the woods as a kid ( maybe 10-12) to play all day in the summer. There were places where the creek would widen and there were deep drop-offs with shale ledges. You could swim there in those spots. Otherwise it was only ankle to knee deep. We were miles from home. Something terrible could have happened, yet we never gave it a thought. Not the parents fault! Kids go on adventures. You would shudder at where we rode our horses and ponies!! God bless them all. My prayers for the families 🙏✝️❤
Jcbright, I agree with you. Our parents gave us rules and we broke them. Three of us neighborhood kids had ponies and we always rode double with whoever was around. We were doing trick riding like in the movies. I galloped up to one guy to swing him up behind me and he went off the other side and smacked into a tree. He was knocked out for several minutes. We were lucky that he only had a slight concussion. We lied and said the pony had spooked. We rode into the lake, a huge no-no. I tried to jump over a log. I went over but my pony didn't. I had a neck ache for weeks. Our parents weren't to blame. It was youth and stupidity. Prayers for the parents.
My childhood was downright feral compared to todays standards. Swimming in god knows what waters and miles from home. Three of us kids drowning at the same time seems near impossible. One or two maybe; but three? That would raise suspicions of foul play.
Absolutely devastating 😔 I hope their parents get all the love and support they need to overcome these terrible losses. Poor babies, Rest In Peace angels
No, they are Humans and if they knew the Lord, they will be above and rule the angels for eternity! Ps. 116:15 “His loved ones are very precious to him and he does not lightly let them die.” (TLB). Is. 57: 1, 2 “The Good men perish; the Godly die before their time and no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to realize that God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. For the Godly who die shall rest in peace.” (TLB). ✝🛐
I worked many cases like this in my career as a game warden. Heartbreaking for the family and for those of us who have to do the recovery. Please watch your kids especially if water is nearby. It only takes a minute. 😢😢
@@nomore4me286 while you want to keep an open mind on a missing person case, it’s not unusual for people to drown in multiples. The last child drowning I worked was two children about these kids age who drowned on a holiday weekend at a public swimming area with probably 200 people around them.
Breaks my heart. There no pain like the pain of losing a child. I lost one recently she was grown but it's still a horrible pain. I can't imagine the pain these poor parents are feeling. My heart breaks for them. I certainly will be praying for these dear folks. Rest In Peace Little ONE'S ❤ ❤ ❤
As a young child, friends and I, went swimming in ditches and lakes all the time. It's a risk we took and no parent could have stopped us. Don't blame the parents at this tragic time in their lives. They will be living with guilt and for no good reason.
@@laurawall7278 if one child got into trouble, the others will have probably tried to help and got caught too. It’s really tragic but you see multiple drownings not infrequently and it’s usually because others have died while bravely trying to render aid.
I almost drowned when I was a kid , i wasn't trying to swim or anything, just walking around in the chest deep water until I accidentally stumbled upon a sudden dropoff ledge to deeper water. Luckily my older sister managed to catch my arm and lift me out the water after a few terrorizing seconds. One of these kids probably stumbled upon the same thing and the rest tried to save them.
Same happened to me Just dropped off and thankfully some observant bystanders saw it and came to my rescue. . My mother came running to save me and she could not swim. Thank God we both lived. Pray fir those children and their families. God bless.
I’m not putting blame on any of you but did none of you know how to swim? Or if you did, did you not know how to float to try to save yourself? I know those drops, mostly from ocean swimming but also some lakes. I also have known how to swim and float basically all of my life, so it’s hard for me to see how this can happen, unless you do not know these 2 skills.
My Uncle was 19 when he almost drowned, and it was the same story. The bottom can disappear quickly from under you, especially if you are caught in a current, and when children are involved, that can be a recipe for disaster. My Grandfather drowned in the months before my Dad was born when he fell through the ice. My heart breaks for these babies. This is such a tragic way to lose your life. 😔💔
@@erinaustin2157 Was wondering that, too. By the time I was 9 years old in 1970, I would say most of the kids I knew had some kind of formal swim lessons, at town parks, scout camps, thru the Red Cross.
Brings back childhood memories of my friends dying the exact same way with the exact same rescue efforts 35 years ago. My condolences to their family and friends 🙏
@Palepride Worldwide most people care to remember the names of women abusers and drug addicts who attack cops. How is remembering someone who never did anything to no one even relatively creepy? 🤷♂️
@@sinceresong9907 Hey, it might help someone else. I just gave the same advice to someone the other day. Teach toddlers, kids to swim. Keep noodles in the pool. You're right though, it's too late for these children.
You know, when I was a kid my brother, my cousins and myself would run all over our families' farms, back and forth from one house to the next, cutting through the woods, playing at the creek, at the pond and sometimes we would go fishing....alone...and we were all under 12 at the time. Times were so different back then. None of our parents worried that we would get hurt because we all knew how to swim and we were always together as a group. This just goes to show that it doesn't matter, group or not....things can go so wrong on so many levels. I feel so bad for these parents and it's so sad that these kids....out playing...enjoying their summer vacation...ended up like this. I just wonder if one got into trouble in deep water and the other two tried to help and ended up not being able to help themselves, much less the one that needed saving. It's just so sad....poor babies. Prayers for these people.
Something's wrong. This doesnt sound like a simple accident. 3 drowned children is very unlikely, rare even. There might be something more to this than simple accident.
Yeah, not a single survivor? Suspicious to say the least. OK so maybe one kid gets in trouble or goes in too deep but it's highly unlikely both kids would die trying to save them. Even if they were exhausted. I'm not saying it isn't possible. It is possible they refused to stop trying and came overcome themselves. But it's certainly not common.
When they found the shoes at waters edge the police knew.Not only is this heartbreaking for family;this takes a toll on law enforcement.tragic end for little children . Condolences to all involved
Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of accidental deaths and happens a significantly higher rate in low income neighborhoods. These kids don't have access to pools or programs teaching them to swim therefore they are more at risk. I almost drowned in the 6th grade. I'm now an underwater photographer that photographs sharks. I've been debating starting a nonprofit to make sure ALL children have access to swimming lessons. This story has really given me the push to go forward with it. My condolences to the family of these little ones ♥
I remember in elementary school they took us to a community center to see if we knew how to swim and if we didn't they taught us I wonder if they still do this. Honestly it should be a part of physical education as most parents don't have the money to afford swimming lessons
That is a great idea - please do it! Swimming lessons are really expensive, and pools to practice in are few and far between in some areas, even when there is no shortage of places to drown.
Kids love to play in water. I remember doing this same thing when I was very young and getting stuck in the mud like it was quick sand. If older kids had not been around and pulled me out I would not have been able to get myself out and I was sinking in the mud quickly.
I had two nightmares about the pain of losing one of my 3 children. I woke up nearly in tears and kissing my daughter, telling her I loved her. The fact that someone is living my worse nightmare x3 is beyond my heart's capacity to understand.
i had a similar dream ...the horrible and deep anguish...the agony...and the waking up and the deep gratitude it was a dream... he's right here....Oh my Sweet Jesus...
If you have a pond on your property, and you have young children you need to take the time to teach them how to float on their backs, how to move the hands to move as you float on the back and basic swimming. I moved to florida when my daughter was 2.5 and the first thing i was told to do was get my daughter toddler swimming lessons so she is safe in the water. I did, I am glad because accidents happen and she felt so comfortable in the water that she didn't panic when some kid was running on the pool deck and pushed her in.
Same here, my family threw me in as a baby after we moved to FL. They taught us kids, and our dog, how to swim to the edge and to the steps of the pool. They couldn't keep me or my dog out of the water after that!
Or you could keep an eye on your young children at all times around water or not. You could also secure any areas surrounding water so that if they do get away from u. They can’t get into the water???! that’s what my mom did and that’s what I did.
@Aluzky Without prayers this world would have ended 1,000's of years ago! The 'Fallen Ones' and the 'Demons', along with all their followers, create the problems we have! Satanail has been locked up for nearly 2,000 years. He will be released in `2029, if you are one of the LOST ONES, then you will be left behind... And you will see problems this world has never seen before! Christians will be gone and in Paradise for those 3.5 years! May you see the light and find Christ, blessings to you!
That isn’t always enough. My family lost an amazing 16 year old to drowning. He was very strong snd s good swimmer but the cold water shocked his diaphragm and he couldn’t breathe. His friends couldn’t reach him in time.
@@grumpyoldlady_rants Oh, how tragic. I'm very sorry for your and your family's loss. I live in France and the French are very aware of this type danger. They always teach their children to wet the nape of their necks with the water before jumping in. I asked why they do that and they explained that it was because sudden cold water emmersion could shock the heart. I'd never heard of this before. This may not have been the case with your loved one and I really don't know if the French's practice really does make a difference, but you are right that most people don't even know about this very real danger. God bless you for sharing this heart-breaking story with others. I hope that they will take heed.
I couldn't have said that any better! I pray that they have not lost their kids 4ever! I can't even imagine losing even 1! Prayers for the family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yeah right this reminds me when I saw the news on tv when some warplane kills a whole familie in irak or in Afghanistan by the same people who are crying now for 3 children you are soo hypocrite
These kids where strangled it wasn't an accident someone killed them... How do three kids dissappear under supervision at 9m and no one hears anything? This is insane
I worked with a girl whose 3 year old nephew went outside in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep. They found him in their pond the next morning. It was heartbreaking.
@Aluzky You'd be surprised how ingenious children can be when it comes to escaping a room, house or whatever, they aren't animals. Edit: Furthermore, in case of a fire, locking up children in a room doesn't seem safe either.
This is ..... horrific! Children are curious and will explore. Children have to be monitored especially when water is near or in the area. Peace be with the family or families. I will pray for peace and solace. You have my deepest and sincerest condolences!
How tragic. So so sad😪 Our family lost 2 brothers and a cousin in 1955 on New Years Eve in a drowning in a pond as well. I didnt know my brothers or my cousin, I was born in 1957.But my mother told me how it all happened .They were playing on the ice & the ice broke .My brothers were 10 &8 .My cousin was 7. May these precious children RIP. May our Lord grant them comfort and strength. My heart goes out to family. 🙏🙏
Truly sad and heartbreaking, however I'm happy the families at least has the peace, and can give the children a proper burial. My thoughts and prayers are with the families.
@@shari9721 there has to be some SORT of peace knowing you can at the very least, give your child a correct burial & knowing that they weren’t maliciously murdered or anything of a sort, it was truly just a terrible accident. i can only imagine its 10x worse not even knowing your child is for years on end.
This is beyond terrible. Similar drownings happen here in the UK every Summer, usually different incidents involving one child. Condolences to all the loved ones. 🦋👼🏽 👼🏻 🕊 🐇 🎈 🧸 🌾 .
My deepest, and sincerest sympathies. My heart goes out to the parents, and my prayers for their strength and comfort during this horrible tragedy. I feel for all involved. God Bless 🙏
This is why I keep my kids close they get pissed at me and say Im mean but I don't want them out running around getting kidnapped or killed. Till they are 16 17 years old and they have learned everything I have taught them and know how to be safe then they can go hangout and have fun with friends. I talk to my kids and show them videos of serious things that happen so I can keep them safe.
I remember the pond on my grandfather's ranch and fishing there with my dad. Bright sun going down and skimming reflections across the pond. I never swam in the pond though. And how sad that these three children lost their lives. I keep thinking, how do you drown in a pond? But I guess if they couldn't swim, it might make sense.
Most ponds have dirt or sand bottoms, at some point it turns in to mud then sucking muck which is very hard to get your feet out of. This is what the "swimming hole" a camp i worked at in louisiana had (pretty sure texas is similar). There was a safety marker across the pond so kids didn't swim over the sucking muck andthen try to touch bottom where their foot/feet sunk in and they could not get out. ( yea there was always the one kid who tried to prove to the others we were wrong and got stuck)
Neutral Barr. Agree. How do you drown in a pond.? Something is not right here. There is no current. There is no undertow. The Texas Rangers are there for a reason . Sad very sad.
I had to redo my message cause I was trying to be a csi and my comment was inappropriate. All 3 babies drowned in that pond its a very horrible situation. I bet they all 3 drowned cause they were trying to help one another and it went all wrong. Im sending prayers out to all the families involved and may these beautiful kiddos rest in peace. Im so sorry again about rhe message I erased and rewrote. Im not a csi.
@@philyeary8809 i rewrote my comment cause I wasnt thinking but it is crazy all 3 if them drowned but Im thinking that maybe the kiddos were trying to help one another and it went terribly wrong.
When I was 6 year's old my 5 year old cousin Gary slipped away from everyone picking blackberries and with his rubber boots on he got in a little boat and paddled out into the pond, he flipped over and went to the bottom, several minutes later everyone started looking for him and saw the boat in the pond, the horror, my uncle eventually found him on the bottom of the pond, I remember as a 6 year old being extremely confused
@@Rastarunt Yes it was, thank You for asking, and I just saw his brother Mike and his two sisters Patti and Robbie at my mother's funeral in Baton Rouge, we're all in our sixties now ❤️
Parents need to be more responsible for their children, it’s no one’s fault but theirs. Stuff like this has been on the news so many times there’s no excuse not to do better.
I fell thru ice in our creek when I was around 7 trying to ice skate.. nobody around but my dog and she tried to help pull me out but luckily I was in a creek so the bank was close by and I could grab onto the bushes .. animals are so smart and amazing! Prayers for everyone involved in this situation 🙏🏼
This seems to be homicide to me. Why would 3 sisters, ages 5, 8 and 9, go off alone in the middle of the night and swim in a pond? No details were given if they even knew how to swim, but I doubt it if all 3 drowned. This is highly suspicious. I don’t think the girls did this themselves. I think they were murdered💔
Growing up myself,brother, and 2 cousins were always miles away from home during the summer and on weekends as kids and teenagers. We fished, went swimming, camping, hunting, forging, built mini dams in the creek, clubhouses, etc.....we started doing this around the ages of 9 or 10 for years afterwards, heck we even knee boarded on plywood in the creek with our three wheelers and rope attachments, we were a creative group of kids.....these kids were just being kids looking for adventure, it is sad they lost their lives, I can tell you this they are with Jesus in heaven that is for sure 👍, prayers for the families and first responders, this impacted their lives for sure, it gets one thinking of how precious and how short life is on this earth. Always tell your kids you love them everyday even when they become adults 👍
So very heartbreaking! My question is...if the pond was that close to the residence, why did the parents not find those shoes etc themselves before they even reported a missing persons?
Horrible. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy.
Oh your heart goes out to the family but you won't stand up and get rid of the illegals that are doing it you're a real f****** Patriot
That statement that family members identified the tennis shoes of the little girl who was missing is enough to make you cry.
I can’t stop crying and I’m not stopping praying for this family ♥️
this is how we lost our friend only 4 years old it was heartbreaking
I don't even want to imagine that heart ache and heartbreak no parent should ever have to go through this. Lord make a way for Justice to be served FOR THE INNOCENT Amen pour in your peace and blessings OVER AND INTO these families FOR ALL THEY HAVE LOST LORD show your mercy's so they can praise you in and through this storm even in their pain and suffering Lord Jesus make a mighty way AMEN

I had two nightmares about the pain of losing one of my 3 children. I woke up nearly in tears and kissing my daughter, telling her I loved her.
The fact that someone is living my worse nightmare x3 is beyond my heart's capacity to understand.
Yes those nightmares. Are the worst. I’ve had those dreams and to think or dream something like that is. Horrible.
Oh Aaron I’m sure that leaves you gasping for breath!!
i had a similar dream ...the horrible and deep anguish...the agony...and the waking up and the deep gratitude it was a dream... he's right here....Oh my Sweet Jesus...
Something I fear everyday it’s stressful
❤️🙏🏻
This story was too short and strange. Someone did something terrible to these children!
That is very sad and tragic.
The things I use to do as fun and games when I was younger… glad I am here to talk about it. Condolences to the friends and family. 😭😭
If you have a pond on your property, and you have young children you need to take the time to teach them how to float on their backs, how to move the hands to move as you float on the back and basic swimming.
I moved to florida when my daughter was 2.5 and the first thing i was told to do was get my daughter toddler swimming lessons so she is safe in the water. I did, I am glad because accidents happen and she felt so comfortable in the water that she didn't panic when some kid was running on the pool deck and pushed her in.
Same here, my family threw me in as a baby after we moved to FL. They taught us kids, and our dog, how to swim to the edge and to the steps of the pool. They couldn't keep me or my dog out of the water after that!
Or you could keep an eye on your young children at all times around water or not. You could also secure any areas surrounding water so that if they do get away from u. They can’t get into the water???! that’s what my mom did and that’s what I did.
As a farther of four children, i could never imagine the pain of losing them..so sad
😱😱 sad sad....RIP little ones.
God give peace to the families.
That is heartbreaking!
So sad. Prayers go out to the families
@Aluzky Without prayers this world would have ended 1,000's of years ago! The 'Fallen Ones' and the 'Demons', along with all their followers, create the problems we have!
Satanail has been locked up for nearly 2,000 years. He will be released in `2029, if you are one of the LOST ONES, then you will be left behind... And you will see problems this world has never seen before! Christians will be gone and in Paradise for those 3.5 years! May you see the light and find Christ, blessings to you!
@Aluzky no you stop, prove prayers do nothing smdh.
@@truthhurts2879 Pay no attention to the disgusting slob
@@truthhurts2879
Pray for me to die right now so I can prove that prayers are worthless
@@truthhurts2879 That has already been proven. Anyways, the sentiment of it is appreciated. Thank you for your empathy to the victims.
This is heart breaking.
Teaching your little one's how to swim is so important especially when living around water. My deepest condolence to the family RIP little one's 🙏
☑️Agreed, every child needs to be taught to swim and swimming safety.
🗺️The planet is 71% water, both natural and man-made bodies.
@@maisonmakin not for long. They'll dry up
This happens more than we hear about. There really should be an awareness campaign.
That isn’t always enough. My family lost an amazing 16 year old to drowning. He was very strong snd s good swimmer but the cold water shocked his diaphragm and he couldn’t breathe. His friends couldn’t reach him in time.
@@grumpyoldlady_rants Oh, how tragic. I'm very sorry for your and your family's loss. I live in France and the French are very aware of this type danger. They always teach their children to wet the nape of their necks with the water before jumping in. I asked why they do that and they explained that it was because sudden cold water emmersion could shock the heart. I'd never heard of this before. This may not have been the case with your loved one and I really don't know if the French's practice really does make a difference, but you are right that most people don't even know about this very real danger. God bless you for sharing this heart-breaking story with others. I hope that they will take heed.
So heartbreaking. My heart goes out the the parents, as a mom this would absolutely crush me I couldn’t imagine 💔
I couldn't have said that any better! I pray that they have not lost their kids 4ever! I can't even imagine losing even 1! Prayers for the family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Losing one baby's hard but all of them is even more heartbreaking 💔
They were siblings? I thought they were friends going to the lake
Yeah right this reminds me when I saw the news on tv when some warplane kills a whole familie in irak or in Afghanistan by the same people who are crying now for 3 children you are soo hypocrite
This is so heartbreaking, I can't even begin to imagine the pain of the parents
K7
Rip to the victims praying fore the family. 🙏
praying doesn't do anything.
@@neotoxicenviful And your comment does nothing but show the world just what kind of a person you are and trust me it's not a very good one!
@@neotoxicenviful And what you comment about show you very stupid.
These kids where strangled it wasn't an accident someone killed them... How do three kids dissappear under supervision at 9m and no one hears anything? This is insane
I worked with a girl whose 3 year old nephew went outside in the middle of the night while everyone was asleep. They found him in their pond the next morning. It was heartbreaking.
Omg 😭
@Aluzky
You'd be surprised how ingenious children can be when it comes to escaping a room, house or whatever, they aren't animals.
Edit: Furthermore, in case of a fire, locking up children in a room doesn't seem safe either.
Aluzky…. You’re an idiot. You never spent one minute of your childhood in the rurals, did you?
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg No
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg they are animals
I’m so sorry. Prayers for the parents
3? That's not weird at all. I really am curious.
I think it’s the opposite of stranger things
This is ..... horrific! Children are curious and will explore. Children have to be monitored especially when water is near or in the area. Peace be with the family or families. I will pray for peace and solace. You have my deepest and sincerest condolences!
Heartbreaking 💔 truly heartbreaking
How tragic. So so sad😪
Our family lost 2 brothers and a cousin in 1955 on New Years Eve in a drowning in a pond as well.
I didnt know my brothers or my cousin, I was born in 1957.But my mother told me how it all happened .They were playing on the ice & the ice broke .My brothers were 10 &8 .My cousin was 7.
May these precious children RIP. May our Lord grant them comfort and strength.
My heart goes out to family.
🙏🙏
Your poor mother. :(
So sad.
Truly sad and heartbreaking, however I'm happy the families at least has the peace, and can give the children a proper burial. My thoughts and prayers are with the families.
Peace?
thoughts and prayers? how nice of you.
There is NO PEACE when you lose a child . It is just a never ending hell of non stop heartache and agony .
Happy?
@@shari9721 there has to be some SORT of peace knowing you can at the very least, give your child a correct burial & knowing that they weren’t maliciously murdered or anything of a sort, it was truly just a terrible accident. i can only imagine its 10x worse not even knowing your child is for years on end.
Sending so much love to each of their families and loved ones, beyond words 🙏🙏🙏
This is terrible! So sorry to hear this ❤️
My sincerest condolences thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and community of these precious little ones. 💕
Beyond heartbreaking for the Families 💔
R.I.P Sweet Angels 💖💖💖
My brother saved me from drowning in a pond when I was 6 years old, so easily done
This is beyond terrible. Similar drownings happen here in the UK every Summer, usually different incidents involving one child. Condolences to all the loved ones. 🦋👼🏽 👼🏻 🕊 🐇 🎈 🧸 🌾 .
Prayers for the family. Truly horrendous
Prayers for the family.
God give them strength and peace.
😢
I wouldn't capitalize if it was your god
The god of your delusion. smh
This better be investigated. Three kids all walk into a pond and drown? Seems sus.
Very Sad! Sending Prayers to the family! 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
My deepest, and sincerest sympathies. My heart goes out to the parents, and my prayers for their strength and comfort during this horrible tragedy. I feel for all involved. God Bless 🙏
My stomach hurts. Oh my gosh. Rest In Peace beautiful🙏🏼 children. This is tragic and so sad. 😓
Blessed the souls of these children and the heal the hurt the families are going through.
My Deepest Condolences to the Families !😪💙🙏
Such a heartache. I am so sorry to hear about this. The families are in my prayers.
Omg this is so sad condolence to all the families and friends of all the victims probably went in to save the other poor kids S.I.P
😪😪😪😪
Prayers to these 3 little angels 🙏🙏🙏
My deepest condolences to their families.
How very sad! I'm praying for each family that is effected
They were siblings, ages five, eight and nine.
This is why I keep my kids close they get pissed at me and say Im mean but I don't want them out running around getting kidnapped or killed. Till they are 16 17 years old and they have learned everything I have taught them and know how to be safe then they can go hangout and have fun with friends. I talk to my kids and show them videos of serious things that happen so I can keep them safe.
Tragic! 😪
This is truly a tragic story 😢
RIP. May God comfort their families.
So sad. Prayers for the family's.
Respect,heartfelt condolences n family/friends stay strong
That is awful!! What happened?
How heartbreaking 😔
Sad...my prayers are with the family and the three kids!
Such a tragedy , may they Rest In Peace!!
💔
Oh my heart!?
Please comfort those families? Everyone around them? Hold them up.

I remember the pond on my grandfather's ranch and fishing there with my dad. Bright sun going down and skimming reflections across the pond. I never swam in the pond though. And how sad that these three children lost their lives. I keep thinking, how do you drown in a pond? But I guess if they couldn't swim, it might make sense.
Most ponds have dirt or sand bottoms, at some point it turns in to mud then sucking muck which is very hard to get your feet out of.
This is what the "swimming hole" a camp i worked at in louisiana had (pretty sure texas is similar). There was a safety marker across the pond so kids didn't swim over the sucking muck andthen try to touch bottom where their foot/feet sunk in and they could not get out. ( yea there was always the one kid who tried to prove to the others we were wrong and got stuck)
Neutral Barr. Agree. How do you drown in a pond.? Something is not right here. There is no current. There is no undertow. The Texas Rangers are there for a reason . Sad very sad.
Heartbreaking, blessings to the family.
The heartbreak is beyond comprehension.❤
This is tragic. Praying for them all
I had to redo my message cause I was trying to be a csi and my comment was inappropriate. All 3 babies drowned in that pond its a very horrible situation. I bet they all 3 drowned cause they were trying to help one another and it went all wrong. Im sending prayers out to all the families involved and may these beautiful kiddos rest in peace. Im so sorry again about rhe message I erased and rewrote. Im not a csi.
Foul play. Could the authorities have a hand in this? Lots of missing children as well lately.
@@philyeary8809 i rewrote my comment cause I wasnt thinking but it is crazy all 3 if them drowned but Im thinking that maybe the kiddos were trying to help one another and it went terribly wrong.
So sad. My heart goes out to the family.
When I was 6 year's old my 5 year old cousin Gary slipped away from everyone picking blackberries and with his rubber boots on he got in a little boat and paddled out into the pond, he flipped over and went to the bottom, several minutes later everyone started looking for him and saw the boat in the pond, the horror, my uncle eventually found him on the bottom of the pond, I remember as a 6 year old being extremely confused
Was it your uncles own son he found?
@@Rastarunt Yes it was, thank You for asking, and I just saw his brother Mike and his two sisters Patti and Robbie at my mother's funeral in Baton Rouge, we're all in our sixties now ❤️
That’s horrible. Poor little Gary 😢. Heartbreaking for everyone.
@@squarletsmom thank you for the love 💕, it was a unbelievable family tragedy
Heartbreaking, absolute tragedy.
Parents need to be more responsible for their children, it’s no one’s fault but theirs. Stuff like this has been on the news so many times there’s no excuse not to do better.
Omg this is just so heartbreaking. I am so sorry to the parents & family of these children💔
God please peace and understanding to this family in their time of need. I wish this on NO ONE on the planet. RIP little angels.
Oh No! My heart just aches for the families! Sending special thoughts from Northern Minnesota!
May they be at peace condolences to the parents
Those poor parents. Oh my gosh, that crushes your heart. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious children.
Can't imagine the heartbreak to have to go through such a tragedy 💔. God help the parents through this very hard time..children R.i.P.
I fell thru ice in our creek when I was around 7 trying to ice skate.. nobody around but my dog and she tried to help pull me out but luckily I was in a creek so the bank was close by and I could grab onto the bushes .. animals are so smart and amazing! Prayers for everyone involved in this situation 🙏🏼
This seems to be homicide to me. Why would 3 sisters, ages 5, 8 and 9, go off alone in the middle of the night and swim in a pond? No details were given if they even knew how to swim, but I doubt it if all 3 drowned. This is highly suspicious. I don’t think the girls did this themselves. I think they were murdered💔
I've noticed that as well. Minimal news, no research or details...read op Mockingbird.
Me too
Yep
They were all strangled it just came out
Omg 💔 this is horrific
My heart goes to the kids family poor babies we have to be more careful letting our lil kids out.
Prayers to them 3 🙏😔
Growing up myself,brother, and 2 cousins were always miles away from home during the summer and on weekends as kids and teenagers. We fished, went swimming, camping, hunting, forging, built mini dams in the creek, clubhouses, etc.....we started doing this around the ages of 9 or 10 for years afterwards, heck we even knee boarded on plywood in the creek with our three wheelers and rope attachments, we were a creative group of kids.....these kids were just being kids looking for adventure, it is sad they lost their lives, I can tell you this they are with Jesus in heaven that is for sure 👍, prayers for the families and first responders, this impacted their lives for sure, it gets one thinking of how precious and how short life is on this earth. Always tell your kids you love them everyday even when they become adults 👍
So sad. Sending hugs and prayers for all that loved them.
So very heartbreaking! My question is...if the pond was that close to the residence, why did the parents not find those shoes etc themselves before they even reported a missing persons?
WOW‼️ This hurtZ my heart. Rip lil babies
