Sand Kills 9 Year-Old

Link Here Nine-year-old Isabel Grace Franks died at a Lincoln City, Oregon, beach on Friday. Her siblings were digging her in the sand, just like people do all the time, and the sand caved in and buried her. People heard screaming but just thought it was typical kids playing. Later the police and firefighters showed up and got her out. They did CPR and took her to the hospital and pronounced her dead.

It confuses me why her siblings didn't help. Or why the adults didn't do anything. Would you have gone to see what was going on if you heard screaming? Does it freak you out that sand can easily collapse and kill you?

  • Good job replying but try to stay away from yes and no questions as it makes it easy for people to respond briefly.

  • Yes that is weird that no one went over there to see what was going on, but I can see how they thought it was little kids screaming. Because little kids do that a lot. 

    • Yes, so it a tough situation.

  • I would definetly go and see what was going on especially if someone was in danger. it freaks me out how heavy sand can get and that it could do that to you.

    • I know! it is crazy!

  • I think that it is weird that no one would help her. It makes you think that maybe they were trying to kill her. You would think the siblings would have helped there sister or even the parents. If I heard screaming that was close by i would have gone to see what it was. 

    • I guess I didn't think about that, does make you wonder.

  • I think that is weird. Like literally everyone does that when they go to the beach ya know? I just never would have expected that to happen.. I mean if she was screaming I would prob think she was having fun because its kids but I mean after a while i would check it out.

    • Yeah, me too. they should have checked it out to be sure.

  • If I would have heard screaming I would have maybe looked around for where the screaming is coming from.  It doesn't really freak me out that it could kill you because a lot of little things like this can kill people.
