Please parents lets be a little more responsible without having to create any more Laws and Rules and place unnecessary burdens on the life guards and staff. Sad Yes! My heart goes out to the entire family. But let us all just pay a little more attention to our own instead of everyone elses.

Digging a tunnel into sand sounds like a college hazing prank. This happened twenty something years ago in Monmouth County. Maybe kids should sit in front of XBox360 during their summer vacation,they wouldn't perish from sand suffication
