To the Editor:
On Friday, July 17 I was at the Surf City beach with my family, enjoying the last day of our vacation in LBI. While in the water during low tide I took turns helping my kids Boogie Board. As I was helping my two younger children, my wife Michele asked me where my son Owen, 9, was. I turned around to see Owen out 50 feet past me in high-breaking waves with fear in his eyes, getting pulled under the waves and out into deeper water.
I then saw his brother Aidan, 14, rushing though breaking waves, yelling his name, trying to get to him.
