Erm, where is the link to this story? I find it hard to believe that ANYBODY would stand by and watch somebody drown, especially if they are the sort of person who has chosen to work for their local community. Could it possible be that the media has omitted some very important facts?
Our local rag recently reportesd that "PCSOs DON'T SOLVE CRIMES". Well, shock, horror, that would be why detectives are detecttives and PCSOs are Community Support Officers. Does what it says in the tin.

I find it hard to understand why they didn't jump in to try and find the young lad, but it is worth noting that they couldn't actually see a body. He wasn't thrashing and drowning, his body had already disappeard below the water when they arrived. It's not a reason not to jump in and help, but it's not as awful as it first sounds.
So what actually hapened was that the PCSOs arrived after the boy had disappeared from view and two anglers, who I assume have knowledge of the water and the area, could not find him, so the PCSOs though it would be sensible to call for trained assistance? Hardly the same as standing by whilst he drowned and lettng two passers by jump in. The two passers by were already there for starters.
Depending on the circumstances I agree that possibly the officers could have jumped in and tried to locate the boy, I would like to think that I would, but depending on how long the boy had disappeared before they arrived would determine a lot of factors, also which direction the anglers thought he may have gone. Also, is it possible that two PCSOs plus two anglers would be too many in the water? Wouldn't one officer have to stay out with the little girl to make sure she was ok? It's easy for everyone to judge but none of us were actually there.
Why were both children unattended at a six foot deep pond?

This is why there should be more police and no community support officers! Lets get back to a proper police force with well trained and experienced officers. The employment of pcso's is a cop out (no pun intended) - same as Teachers, Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, etc., etc.
Personally, I couldn't stand by and not try to help even though I am terrified of water.
