People

For two days now I have seen people not watching their children by the pool. Here is my problem:
I went to the pool to relax and read a magazine, being the person I am, my radar is alway up around the pool. We lived in Arizona and every evening, the weather man would say "Watch your kids around water" to sign off his forecast. This was because almost every evening there was a drowning or near drowning in the area.
Being a mom, a teacher and just a caring person, I have always been aware of water and the need to watch everyone, not just kids. I respect water and I know that a person can drown in as little as cup if all the aspects align.
So for the second time in two days I went to the pool and watched parents not give a crap....
Last night four mind you adults were talking, drinking and they got up and left and went to an apartment. Out of the pool comes a little boy looking at me and Jeff and his new assistant as we sat there and he asked "Where's my mamma?" I said I think she left baby. I got up and talked to him, as he cried and he said I got put back in kindergarten when I asked how old he was. I saw the people and went to walk him as his mom finally realized she left him. I said to her, he was pretty scared and she said oh, he is fine. Pissed me off.

So today there is a family of 12 out there in the pool. They do not live here and I have no idea who belonged to whom. Two adults all the rest kids. Well, they played football in the pool as four little ones played in hot tub fountain and the shallow end. Once I heard the dad lift up the little one and say" Dallas if you gonna drown you need to tell someone".
They all got out left and went to an apartment, the weight room etc. I watched from the side lines as the little one, climbed the fence and got back into the pool area. then came two older but not but 10 and the other three little ones. No parent in sight. I then said to Jeff enough...
I walked over to the young man that came in and asked him how old he was. He said 16 and I said, ok, you need to watch these kids and I do not want to see you in the pool. I would recommend you call your parents and tell them to come watch these kids or I will be calling the officer that is on duty here.
So I watched him text his mom and left.
Am I a jerk or not...
I refuse to believe that people are this stupid but they keep proving me otherwise. I do not care if you are the parent or not please say something and take a stand
WATCH YOUR KIDS AROUND WATER.
