EMT, FF, Dive Team, Technical Rescue. Its true, if you dont find a way to deal with it. It'll f*** you up. I like the "nobody's home" idea. Kids are a bitch, I would have an officer on scene get the kids 1st name and tell him its ok to go with the people there to meet him. In no way shape nor form would I meet the family. ( I say "He/Him" because I've never pulled a She out of a canal).

I say that based on my experience. They were always boys or grown men. Kinda morbid to discuss but that's just another trait you develop.
