In reality, accoridng to the news anyway, the PCSOs arrived on the scene after the boy had disappeared from view, and I agree with Rev that perhaps it wouldn't have hurt to jump in and help, but none of us were there and the facts haven't exactly been included in the question title so how can the poster afford to judge?
What kind of society have we become when we are ready to hang a member of the (civilian) police force because we inaccurately interpreted a news story?

I don't think it is the PC brigade that object to PCSOs. It is the right wing press that are the biggest critic. The Daily Mail insists on calling them Blunkett's Bobbies.
I am surprised that you are quite happy for gun totting youths to roam the streets for a week before the police get off their ar5ses.

Apparently the kids had been here many times before and I guess you have to be able to trust them now and again.
The police have defended the PCSOs by saying " they weren't trained " Did the man who pulled the survivors off that Thai aircrash have any "training"???? Have previous rescuers from the general public had any "training"?? No ........you do what you can and if that involves jumping into water well so be it. How could they know for sure the boy was dead just because he wasn't in "view" ?? People in cars disappear under water but you don't just say " Oh they must be dead without checking first ! "
Pretty poor show I reckon.

Dassie.
The kids had been there mant times before {unsupervised?}
Children+water = mischievous.
The parents are just trying to finger point, i'm sure we all would of jumped in if we were there.
The CSO's believed that they were doing the right thing be it right or wrong, one person has lost his life, lets not try to apportion the blame to others.
Look no further than the parents i'm sorry to say, they must be riddled with guilt
