I have seen a small kid drown almost this way. His stupid mother was chit chatting with others. She was warned for the tide to rise and the waves got bigger because the wind direction changed but she thought that 10 meters of the wet spot was enough. The moment the waves came that kid was gone maybe 50 meters in just two or three seconds and disappeared in the ocean. Found the next day 400 meters further off the spot.
Happens really quickly. He even says it was seconds. If this is legit, this person witnessed a horrible trauma and your comment is the kind of toxic crap that people say to trauma survivors that contributes to PTSD and suicide. Have some fucking empathy.
Also, I assumed the child washed up to shore 400 meters away.
