Standing along the bank of a rain-swollen creek, Susan Newkirk
watched as the 2-year-old boy tumbled in and was swept away.

She couldn't swim. Instead of diving into the raging waters
after her friend's son, she yelled to his father for help.

The little boy died.

If she had gone in, there would probably have been two dead. A guy
just died here, diving in after a 7 year old. The kid died too.
Usually the rescuer can't get the kid, and can't save his/her own life
either. There should not be any duty for a third party to sacrifice
their own life like that.
