Depressed after seeing video of girl drowning


I seen on the web a video from a security camera taken September 1st in the Dominican Republic. It is of a 15-year old girl being pushed into a swimming pool by a 16-year old boy. She couldn't swim and was drowning. No lifeguards were around. There were many people in and around the pool but no one noticed she was drowing. I know they say it's difficult to tell if a person is drowning but I could see her obviously struggling to surface for air and constantly sinking below the surface. She tries desperately to go towards the edge of the pool while underwater. Then the boy who pushed her in grabs her and pushes her deeper underwater. She then sinks to the bottom while thrashing her arms to no avail. It isn't until over 10 minutes later that someone noticed her at the bottom of the pool and pulled her limp body out. They tried CPR but it was too late. That piece of garbage boy has since been arrested and prosecutors are trying to charge him as an adult. I've seen many disturbing videos but this one really made me depressed.
Why would someone do that to such a pretty young girl?

Saw an article about it but didn't watch the video. A few years ago a hotel poolside camera caught a man drowning his 3-year-old stepdaughter. I watched that one, wish I hadn't. Pure evil.

How did you think you'd feel when you decided to watch it?

reply

Yeah, if she wasn't pretty it wouldn't be as bad right?

reply

I watched it. Why didn't anyone help her? Idiots.

I gave up on watching those types of videos because they said a lot more about me than I had realized.

I used to seek out these gory/extreme type videos from curiosity, but now I don't see a point and find it more toxic than anything.

I've seen way, way, way, way, way worse than just someone drowning though.

Don't let curiosity get the best of you in these cases. I've seen really bad stuff, so curiosity is not necessary -- I know how dark it gets.
