This is terrible.

A 12 year-old girl drowns at a Long Island beach because her New York City school took her to the beach on a class trip - but never bothered to assure that there were any lifeguards. That's right: None.

I can guarantee you this: a lawsuit is coming. And you know what? It should.

Because maybe, just maybe, being hit in the pocketbook will finally wake that school up to assure that they never allow school negligence, or in legal terms, "negligent supervision," like this to happen again.
