A tragedy, I am sorry when I read such things - no matter what religion the people have. Please don't call them names; they were stupid, no doubt, because theyshould have had life-jackets and they should not have been out at night, and they regretfully have followed in the footsteps of the thousands who if alive would have said that "If we had only known", "If I could get a new chance". There is bloodguilt here on the part of the family heads, for the children. But please don't call them jackasses or whatever has been used - they are dead, and the survivors are in deep mental trouble. Their own fault, yes, but we should try to comfort nonetheless.
I wonder why the reporter gave the religion - is that ususally done? Would it have been stated that "the families were Catholics"?
