This correlates with the heat/drought, which means that people go to lakes and public swimming pools much more.
The DLRG isn't making things up, though. We are seeing more children drowning while their parents are playing with their smart-phones (eyewitnesses). That's a fact. Maybe ten years ago people weren't that addicted. Maybe there is a new generation with little kids now... Whichever, they are stating FACTS.
That's not true. Locally, this is being reported. There was a recent drowning trial here (negligence) and those were very German Germans.
At the lakes one sees relatively few foreigners. If, then these are usually in groups - together. This makes it difficult to drown unnoticed.
The antisocial behaviour of swimming alone and letting children swim alone, is typical for Germans. If you send two Germans to the meadow, there will be a fence between them a short time later.;-)
This is not exclusive to Germans, of course:
I have noticed that more and more young parents see their children as 'accessories', much like toys. In fact, this very morning I was asking myself whether this was a man calling his dog or a father shouting out to his son. I find myself wondering often about this. They use the same tone, the same language.
On the other hand, you see persons talking to their dogs like they were people, constantly asking them questions as if they would respond, dressing them up, hugging and kissing them.
I think that the smartphone underlines the fact that they only look at their kids when they don't have anything "better" to do. Accessories become boring eventually...
++ Also noteworthy: they keep up 'the attack alarms' on a weekly basis. They are certain that the press plays along, apparently. Still, you have to be stupid to believe that load of horseshit...
Considering that it's quite easy to record (even high frequency) sound, this is just plain silly. Either there was 'sound' and they recorded it or there wasn't.
Thank you, Richard Stallman!
It saddens me to see that this would have gone south had "the man" not thrown in his veto. This means that the majority either ducks away or is made up predominantly by shit-bags (I doubt that).
I'm quite sure that those who complained are not really into programming. I haven't met a coder without a sense of humor and a desire for liberty, yet.
There is currently a dreadful discussion about paragraph 218 ("termination of pregnancy", a.k.a. abortion) in GERMany. The background story is that a doctor was dragged to court for publicizing information to inform pregnant women of their options and their implications. This information was considered a crime by the new right. With dying churches and the political climate having been pushed towards the far right, they are now fastening onto what was thought "a human right" not so long ago.
We need more people like Stallman. Without them, we're back in our enclosures in no time...
And this is coming from a native English speaker that has had to learn polish.
I think this is the main reason. You grew up on Latin characters, which makes it easier.
The same applies to me as well. I only started learning Cyrillic characters when I was an adult. I barely get to see them these days. However, whenever I see a text in a Slavic language written in Latin letters, I immediately think how much simpler the whole caboose would be in Cyrillic. What I get to see is mostly Polish, but also some Slovenian, Croatian and such.
I must admit that the Polish greeting "Czes'c'!" (Slashdot doesn't like them characters either) already gives me eye cancer. That IS NOT practical.
We can get used to many things. Our keyboards are still designed after the old typewriters even though it has been proven a thousand times that this doesn't make any sense. Looking at it from a neutral perspective you can see the flaws.

You are ignoring that they went out and saved lots of children successfully. Their observations are therefore not only based on the "few" deceased.

*Errm* - I'm only following German media, unlike you troll.
You are comparing apples and oranges. In the Netherlands, swimming is far more common. There is water everywhere, they go swim everywhere.
Nah, that's even worse than 'white'. Pale is when you get to see the insides of the body, because the skin is close to transparent. Disgusting! ;-)
It's a noticeable increase. The DLRG wanted to make this public, as they are witnessing that problematic first hand. Where's the spin in there?!?

And what does this hate campaign have to do with pale, white boys drowning while their pale, white German mommies play with their smartphones?
...but that's one of those topics that the MSM shall not discuss in Europe.
Simply because it wasn't immigrants drowning?

They will have to include headphones though, as it is becoming mandatory in an increasing number of countries due to harmful radiation.
This presentation explains this rather well:

To me, it looks like they are playing along willingly.

Why don't we hear anything about him being prosecuted? I can't think of a more obvious case ...
Oh my Gawd! They are taking them babies out of those incubators again!
