I am the oldest of 6 from the area and I can not imagine losing both parents at the same time. God bless those boys as they now take up the task of trying to keep their family together. They are in my thoughts
I can’t begin to imagine.
Not sure they were married, as some are calling her his GF.
She had 4 of the children. He was the dad of the 2 older boys who tried to help.
They may wind up going to the families of each one. It’s not clear how long they’ve been together.
May they somehow feel Jesus presence & comfort in their devastation. ♥✝🕊
So sad
If you jump in with waves you’ll get beat back to shore. If you jump in where it’s calm, you’re on a 2-300 yard ride out. Swim parallel and ride waves back in. If you can’t swim don’t please
You are so right and it’s really sad people are taught to swim parallel to shore to be able to get back in.
God Bless that Family! 🙏 Bring Peace to all those affected by this tragedy!
Tragic.
Rest in peace
Sad
These parents were in a dangerous area that had warning signs posted.
*No signs or flags posted on the more private beach areas.*
They were at his parents condo at the water there.
Not a public ‘guarded’ beach.
*They had no idea of the conditions.*
*Get the facts,* before posting false statements.🙄SMH
@sonneversets3530 no actually you need to learn how to read and get our of your feelings. It was said in several news outlets the they ignored the warning signs and went to a non lifeguarded section of the beach. You are the misinformed loud and wrong person
Every student in the country from elementary school to university should be taught how to swim in such rip tides just in case this ever happens to them at some point in their lives. It should also be part of the safety announcement on planes flying to any state with a coastline (it need only be one sentence, which would add 2 seconds to the speech), and posted on large signage on interstate highways when entering any coastal state.
I just don't understand if the lifeguards knew there was a riptide that beach should not have been open at all. God bless the children and give them peace and comfort in this situation.❤

A Rip Tide can pull you off your feet & out in seconds, in just 2’ of water!
So ppl can be just wading at their knees, & taken out 100 yards in 10 seconds!
They were _NOT_ out that far on their own!

My Condolences PRAYERS for the Children for ALMIGHTY CHRIST JESUS to Strengthen them mentally physically and emotionally
I thought it was the wife who drowned not the husband.
Rip 🙏
It’s both.
Jersey Shore?? Hmmm nah that’s the area that jaws is based on (roughly). In a river. Respect the ocean. Speaking from the perspective of a kid that almost drowned. I no longer go in the ocean. Or lake, especially the great lakes (land oceans)
That’s what they get for having 6 kids
See this why people have no business breeding like that because the more you have the more it becomes a burden for other people to now have to take care of 6 KIDS..not accountable for offspring when people have that many...2 is enough to provide for let alone 6 thats rude to burden otherswith this problem
Wow...Another low info h8er, who assumes everything w/o any knowledge.😂🤮
Here’s a cloo...
They were a blended family.
The 2 boys who tried to help them were his sons.
She had 4 of her own.
*Not married.* Not clear how long they were together.
*Their prospective families will probably take their children, if the other parents are not alive.*
Let’s hope the mom of the father & the dad of the mother are both living & willing / able to take their kids.
Stop spewing BS about things you’re cloo less of, to try to make yourself feel better, b/c you have no life or friends. SMH

Hopefully the mom of the father & the dad of the mother are both living & willing / able to take their kids.
I know it’s darn near impossible for you, but try not to spew BS about things & ppl you know nothing of.🤮
The children still have a parent alive.
Geez. Out of all the groups of people in this country that you could accuse of having society pay for the upbringing of their children you chose white people? Have you ever met a black person in real life?
Having a bad day? Very rude comments.
This is so sad. Six children lost both of their parents. 😢
No, they didn't have kids together. He had 2, she had 4. Hopefully, his kids have their mom and hers have their dad.
I remember once that I literally swam out 5 feet from the beach shore early morning by myself with no one else on the beach,,but literally 3 minutes later I turned my head to look back at the beach,,and I was literally 2 long blocks away from the shore...😳😞...I then realized what happened as I was being swept out further by the current,,and I began to panic because my swimming 🏊♂️ back towards the shore did not accomplish anything...I then became exhausted and thought I was about to die,,when Suddenly a big 8 foot wave came and swept me all the way back to shore,,the wave literally carried me the length of 2 long blocks,,at least the length of half of a football field.....That being said,,I Thank THE LORD so much,,because I truly believe that HE saved me 😔🙏🏿✝️........Also please remember,,u can get swept up into a current 5 to 10 feet from the shore,,despite experts saying that u don't have to worry unless u are 100 feet out from shore 😳......Once again,,I was swept into a current 5 feet from shore,,so please keep that in mind if u decide to enter the water....🙄 Please BEWARE 🚫❌‼️❌
Amen brother I believe that God's hand saved you! I've had dealings with these riptides and when I was a child nobody even noticed that I got pulled under and all the sudden a big wave came and spat me up on the shore thank God!
@@ByGraceIGo Thank u brother,,and I thank THE LORD that HE saved u also...😔...Also just for the record,,I was so exhausted trying to swim 🏊♂️ back to shore against the current,,I literally would have sunk under water from pure exhaustion if THE LORD did not send that wave......In fact,,when the 8 foot wave came,,I was literally like a lil baby with absolutely no strength in the arms of the wave,,as it literally carried me the length of half of a football field all the way to shore...🙄......In other words,,I truly believe that GOD did that,,because even with full strength its hard to catch a wave that rides u perfectly for the length of half of a football field all the way to shore,,I've never seen that happen before,,and the wave literally dropped me off 2 feet from the sand shore...🤔.......Like I said,,I only swam out 3 to 5 feet from shore,,but 2 minutes later I was literally a half of football field in distance away from the shore...😳...Absolutely Terrorfying Experience 😳.......This in fact is why THE LORD put it on my heart to comment and warn others,,because many folks don't know that they can get swept up into a current 3 to 5 feet from the shore,,especially considering that experts say u must be at least 100 feet out to get swept in a current...In fact,,back then when this happened to me I also did not know that currents exist so close to the shore,,I woulda never imagined that currents could sweep me up 3 to 5 feet from the beach ⛱...YIKES ‼️❌❌❌ 🤯.....Also just for the record,,this happened to me in Santa Cruz California The Pacific ocean,,and I was all alone at 7 in the morning on the beach,,just wanted to get out the house for a minute and walk the beach...In fact,,my plan was to just swim 3 to 5 feet out and splash around a little,,I never had any intentions to go out further than 5 feet from the shore...🥺.......Last but not least,,I pray that THE GOOD LORD saves the couple that died to eternal life,,and reunites them one day with there children so they can all spend eternity together...😔🙏🏿✝️......Thanks for Commenting,,and I also pray that THE HEAVENLY FATHER saves u and your household to eternal life as well...🙏🏿✝️...GODBLESS
@@bomani7543 great story actually I am a sister and my name is Christine. I live in the panhandle of West Virginia now I moved here almost 3 years ago and so the ocean is pretty far away from here now and so tomorrow when my son visits we may go swimming in the swimming hole that's in one of the rivers and it's beautiful and clean! Have a blessed weekend my friend! 🌹❤️
@@ByGraceIGo Thank u sister,,and please be safe out here,,not only in regards to this topic of currents,,but also in all aspects of life...This world is crazy,,and we must always use GODLY wisdom to protect ourselves in this world...😔...Thanks again my sister for commenting,,and I really appreciate the love and compassion that u showed throughout our discussion,,especially considering the heartless wicked comments that I saw from others in this comment section...smh.....Once again,,im praying for u,,and please pray for me as well if u don't mind...🙏🏿✝️...GODBLESS and take care ❤
@@bomani7543Have a wonderful life. Your experience with the Lord is humbling and should be told many times. God bless.
I do not swim in the ocean. I trust 6 ft at best. If I can't touch the ground and come back up, I will not go in.
You and me both
I get what you’re saying, but the same, general dangers are at 6’ as 16’ or 60’ in an ocean.
Sharks & rips are there, too.
Ive never been anywhere that came close to the rips and undertows, that they dont mention, as in Florida. Ive had backwash out flows take me off my feet in two foot of water. If your unsure of your swimming skills wear a life vest.
A Rip tide will also knock you & drag you out in 2’ of water.
Many ppl don’t know that.
My condolences to their family.
Praying won’t make them come back.
Praying for those 6 children I can't even fathom what they're having to endure losing both parents sending ❤ from Wisconsin 🕊️🕊️
Hopefully, they still have their other parent that will take them in.
It was a BF/GF. His 2 older sons who tried to help & her 4 younger kids.
If their other parent is still alive, they will most likely go w/them.
The 2 older boys are of age, or close to, since both HS grads.
Hers are younger.
Praying won’t make them come back. You should’ve prayed for them when they were living.
@@GabrielMartinez-pe6ln and how would that have helped them do think that would've stopped them from drowning
@@GabrielMartinez-pe6ln do you pray for strangers? Your words sounds like you robably do.
@GabrielMartinez-pe6ln Two people lost their lives and all you can come up with is putting down people who believe in God and Prayer?!
I got caught in a rip tide in Hawaii when visiting for my 16th birthday.
I am 66 today. I remember that experience like it was yesterday.
RESPECT THE OCEAN!! !!
The natives warned me. I said…”I can swim!” True…but I did NOT understand rip tides at all !!
Young and no experience!!
It’s where they filmed Hawaii 5…O…at the time.
I was literally praying under water…twirling around fast and gulping a lot of water…thinking I am going to die. I needed air badly!!
I had ZERO control !! NONE
I relaxed as best I humanly could and let nature do what it was going to do…no choice.
Don’t fight it…makes it worse.
By Gods grace…nature…dragged and beat me around the rocks, back up to shore. I was exhausted!! My knees were all cut up and bleeding.
I could barely breathe!!
I thanked God…for not taking my life.
MIRACLE
I wrote a paper in college about my experience. “A”paper!
I lived it…it was REAL and VERY SCARY!! !! !! 😱
Lesson: ALWAYS respect the ocean and warning signs.
DO NOT GET IN THE OCEAN if rip tides and WARNING SIGNS!!!!
Say…NO!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT WORTH YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!! 😢
🚩🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
Wait until all is clear.
I feel their pain!!
HEARTBREAKING 💔 😞
God help the children and their families!!
🙏💔
Thank you!
🙏❤️🩹
I am healed now…16…66 now.
But…I ALWAYS respect the ocean and nature now.
It’s…POWERFUL!!!
Mother Nature in any form is to be respected…at ALL TIMES.
Pay attention to the WARNING SIGNS!!!!!!!!!!! 🚩
God gave me a MIRACLE and second chance!!
I am…GRATEFUL!!
🙏😇🎁
Between bull sharks and elements, one will claim you
The ocean always wins
R.I.P.🙏

So sad 🙏
Such a tragedy. Always swim at a guarded beach. In rough seas people gravitate to an area of flat surf. That is the rip tide! It will suck u out in seconds. The only way out is sideways. Many condolences to the children & family. Cant imagine what they're going through. Rip.🙏
I knew the mother, she was one of my teachers in 4th grade😢
So sad for the families of these two who died. If you are unfamiliar with rip currents or flag meanings while at the Ocean, you shouldn’t even have your feet anywhere near that water. The ocean will take your life in a matter of seconds if you’re not careful. I visit the ocean often and am a good swimmer, but still scares me at times. Too many out of towners treat the ocean like an inland lake and have no clue how vicious she really can be.
They were swimming in an non lifeguarded area and ignored the warning signs. Their death is in their hands. Rules and warnings are there for a reason.
That's so fucking sad man
Boyfriend and girlfriend...own separate children.
Why does this matter? Did Death care?
At a lost for words.
Red flags posted...come on folks! 😮
Not where they were.
No LGs, signs, or flags.
They entered by his parents condo they were enjoying.
Not a public beach.
They didn’t know.😔
R I P
🙏❣️🙏
This is why I only swim in places with borders. You can still drown but usually there arent any tides or currents naturally created. Im good. Water is a beast and I respect its power.
Cherish the moments you have together with your love ones. Life can change very suddenly. Condolences to their friends and families. Very heartbreaking circumstances. RIP
How deep do you need to be in the ocean to be caught in a rip current?
Absolutely tragic. RIP 🙏🙏
Don't go in the water if you can't swim . I live near the ocean and have had this happen to me. I could swim though
Tragic. These kids are going to go through a tough road up ahead. Any gofundme?
Red flag means ????
Did the family even know what the “red flag advisory” is!? Does someone come and explain it to people who are on the beach!? I would assume a red flag means there is a life guard on duty? How would they know!!? If they aren’t told or there are not clear signs indicating what these “flags” mean and how to determine the severity then it should be a liability of the beach. If the town is paying lifeguards and has granted the public access to swim, then there should be a waiver to sign or some proof of education on how to escape a rip tide before letting beach goers enter. Especially, when you have out of state visitors and families with small children. Towns usually charge an entry fee to gain to get access to the beach and on most occasions are charged double to enter. So it’s at that point, that education indicating “you and your children may die today in the water due to riptide risk!” should be explained in detail and signed off on, especially if you took their money in exchange for entry.
Who in their right mind would take their children or themselves into a situation like that!? Almost no one! This is horrific, and it mostly likely will keep happening. Clearly, there is a huge knowledge gap about what happens on these beaches if many people keep dying the same way. Saying “oh they should have seen the flag” is a disgusting excuse for letting people die on your property and placing the blame on them. If I were the kids or the family of this couple I would sue and hopefully change beach laws so that people have “very informed consent” when they enter. Never have I been to a beach where this is done or even heard of. It’s a public health threat and continues to be across the coast line. More preventable deaths that will continue.
Funny you say that me and my girlfriend just today same beach same area .. we are from Buffalo New York we walked down to that area to swim because of a life Gaurd and that red flag was on the beach and we had no clue to what it meant and we were the only ones swimming and I even said to her funny it's just us never heard of a red flag and not one person told me what it was just watched us swim .. as we were getting ready to go a strong current got us for a second but we got out of it ...
Very sad. Those poor kids. I’m not sure why people would enter the water when there are “red flags” warnings. 🙁

But were is there kids going to live. I'm sorry but I don't know if I me or My parents can't help 6 kids
Hopefully w/their other parent, if still alive.
Otherwise, relatives.
His 2 older boys who tried to help, are over 18.
She had the 4 younger ones.
Not married.
So her kids may go to her ex, their father.
You don’t have to worry about helping them....
Pray for their devastated families.🙏
Condolences to the entire family. I remember I was in Destin a few years ago, and on the beach they had that red flag flying and the lifeguard was watching everyone on the beach. I don't understand how the couple were all the way out that far in the ocean with the flag flying?

Not married. Their families will probably take their children, if the other parents are not alive.
Let’s hope the mom of the father & the dad of the mother are both living & willing / able to take their kids.
So dramatic, they aren't babies!
Excuse me if the other kids had parents they will not be split up. They will keep the kids together unless the courts decide otherwise. Learn how to read people.
@@fredreed2001 *You don’t make sense.*
If the other parent(s) are still alive, they most likely will go to their other parent.
That means her 4 kids will go to their father, & his 2 boy’s will be w/their mom.
The 2 other parents will not get married to keep the kids together,🙄😂
His 2 boys are old enough to not need custody. Both HS grads. One is in college.
Hers are younger.
