Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett also expressed his anger over the arrest. We speak with Eugene Kane about what happened and get his thoughts.
With Memorial Day just around the corner, many families across the nation will kick off summer with a trip to the beach. Whether it’s a pond, river, or lake, there’s a lot of fun to be had playing in and around the water, but there’s also an element of danger. According to a new report, an estimated one-thousand children fatally drown in a single year, and many more end up in the hospital because of drowning scares. In addition, the majority of these incidents happen in open water, versus places like swimming pools or bathtubs. The report’s lead author discusses keeping kids and teens safe this summer on the open water, and how to best prevent drownings from happening.
