If you and your kids can't swim, would you take them swimming?

Here in Dallas yesterday, a 10-year old died and 2 of her siblings are in the ICU after going swimming in a swimming pool.

Quote:

A 10-year-old girl drowned and her 9- and 11-year-old brothers were in intensive care after they were pulled from a murky swimming pool at an Irving apartment complex Wednesday, police said. Their mother was in the shallow end of the pool with a 3-year-old child and didn’t notice the older children go underwater, police said. Unable to swim, she began screaming for help.

So mom takes her 5 kids swimming...even though none of them can swim. No lifeguard present, no "floaties" no nothing. She apparently had her back to them when all three went under...and she could do nothing. Thankfully, a heroic maintenance man dived in and helped pull out the kids, but for one kid..it was too late.

Personally, I think she should be charged with criminal endangerment. What do you think?
