@#3 ... Looks like no one read the link on how his daughter ended up overboard. He should be billed the rescue costs. ...

I did read the link, and other articles about this incident.

From the cited article ...

... "A little girl fell overboard and her father jumped in to save her ... apparently the dad sat her on the railing!" passenger Mary Ann Sutherland added in a separate post on Facebook. ...

So, was the Dad a Hero, or an Idiot, or a child abuser?

My current opinion is definitely not the first of those three ...

@#5 ... Guy's an idiot ...

Yup. That's pretty much the opinion I have come to.

... but who wouldn't jump off a boat to save their child? An -------. ...

Yeah, so I would not say he is an -------.

OK, so, now I am settling on the opinion that he was an idiot for placing his daughter in that precarious position. But I will give him props for diving in to save her.

But wow, imo, a friggin' idiot.
