// The Ilgin family had placed the child in the flotation device and were apparently settling in on the beach when they realised she was not where they left her.
Melda Ilgin was seated in an inflatable child's toy when strong winds caused her to drift away from the shore.
Her parents and others watching on the beach reacted with horror as the yellow inflatable was carried further and further out to sea with the child still sitting atop it. //
Sounds more like a freak accident than neglect. They momentarily looked away and she was gone. Fortunately we have an happy ending.
Children have got swept out to see here in dingys and inflatables. We do not take them into care and prosecute the parents. As in the Turkish case, there is relief and thanks that the incident did not have a tragic end.
So in answer to the question, no we do jot takes things too seriously, and to the i plied question, no the Turkish authorities do not take it too lightly either.
