I get that when pure negligence causes a tragic death most people don't care about that fact, it is feel bad for the family and let's turn a blind eye to why this happened and the fact it should never have if people were more responsible and careful. I see this day after day in my line of work, it is always someone else's fault or nobody's.

I'm usually the first one to jump on idiot parents for letting their kids run around the gorilla pit without supervision but even a pompous judgemental arse like me can't fault the dad on this one, 'no swimming' doesn't mean 'no going anywhere near the water, paddling or generally acting like this is a safe beach'.
Outside of Florida 'no swimming' means the waters likely to drown you, not that it'll jump out and eat you.
