It is so scary when things like that happen. Glad you were there and the little boy was ok

I was in the ocean with a friend and our kids. We were sitting in our knees so not deep. her then not quite 6 yr old was swimming around us and as they always use floaties and my kids don't he asked to have his off..

Next minute I look at him and he is less then 30cm behind his mum and I thought thats not right. He was silent and terrified and only his eyes above the water (just) I grabbed him as quick as I could. If I hadn't looked over who knows. the water wasn't deep and we were right there but he didn't make a sound or splash..
