She died, I guess doing what a "woman is supposed to do" giving up her life for her kid and that seemed to absolve her of being called a dumbass like the rest of us

I was talking to my uncle about this case and asked him how someone could be silly enough to jump of a rented boat with no life jacket and no knowledge that an un-anchored boat can float away. I think she thought bigger boats stay where they are
He said "Well she died saving her kid's life" I told him I realize that and it was the least she could do to fight to save the kid from her decisions as she was the adult that took him out there. He said "Well she just made a mistake, just like the time you and DH went out in too much chop in your kayaks years ago"
I guess moos are allowed to get away with being dumb and ditzy if you can relate to them.

Rivera, 33, was boating with her 4-year-old son Wednesday afternoon when she went missing. The boy was found asleep and wearing a life vest late Wednesday afternoon and told investigators that he and his mother went swimming and he got back on the boat, but Rivera did not. Another life jacket was also found in the boat. Her son described being helped into the boat by his mother from behind, but told investigators that when he looked back, he saw Rivera disappear under the water. Ayub said it was still speculation, but it was possible Rivera got caught in some currents that appear in the lake in the afternoon.
"The idea perhaps being that the boat started drifting, it was unanchored," Ayub said. "And that she mustered enough energy to get her son back onto the boat but not enough to save herself."

She'll be lauded for saving the kid's life, but nobody thinks about the aftermath. Because of her choices, that kid is going to experience the grief of losing a mother, with a huge helping of survivor's grief. It was ultimately her choices that caused the situation, but the kid will be the one to suffer.

This is all conjecture and we are talking about answers from a four year old. They are almost tripping over themselves to not talk about plausible nefarious motives.

That sounds like some serious hoop-jumping to avoid any hint that motherhood may not have been the single driving force behind her actions. Because what else could it be, right? Motherhood is the sum total of a woman's experience....

I was put into swimming lessons when I was six, I think? And I can swim just fine, though I admit I was adamant about not putting my face in the water because I didn't like it and I'd throw a shitfit if someone made me. I still can't do a proper front crawl because I can't do that thing where I put my face in the water and turn it to the side to breathe. I also refused to go off the diving board or dive into the deep end to retrieve stuff instructors threw into the water because I'd panic when my head went under and I'd forget to hold my breath and I'd swallow water.
I can swim well enough to survive and enjoy a pool safely, but definitely not well enough to, say, swim competitively.
