I'll never forget when I took the whole family on vacation to Dubai, it was kind of a reward for my son who had just won a national prize for outstanding acedemics and integrity. I had just bought him a mask and was teaching him about diving. I told him that I learned by watching and emulating people that look like they knew what they were doing in the pool.
He found a person that was quite a good swimmer, and using the same great observation skills that had made him the academic prodigy he was, he watched intensely.
Unfortunately, the swimmer swam close to him, pushed his head under the water for about 3 seconds, then brought him to the surface, and shouted in his face, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT???? WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHO IS YOUR MOTHER AND WHERE IS SHE??? HAVE SOME RESPECT... OK???"
........................after this happened his grades went down hill, he is now afraid of the water, and my wife thinks he might be gay.
My question: What kind of a person would do such a thing to an eight year old boy?
