His name was Yaakov Shlomo.
1. The boy’s name is Yakov Shlomo.
2. This trip was a walking one with no intention of swimmimg or other water sports. The boy slipped and fell in to the water. Unfortunately none of the accompanying adults knew how to swim and the tragedy occured in full view of his classmates and friends.
3. There is absolutely no problem with the Police. All necessary precautions were taken and everything was totally in order. This is a simple tragic accident and nothing more.
4. The father Reb Avrohom shlita is a big marbitz Torah and a groisse tzaddik. May he together with his choshuve mishpocho find nechomo and continue their avodas HaShem.
there was no negligence here. in isreael every excursion from the school is done with a licensed escort (plus armed guard)
he slipped into the water and hurt his head badly which probably knocked him unconcious. rachmana litzlan
may the wonderful exemplary family know no more sorrow.
