This article highlights the difficult job done by local beach patrols. I thought it was amazing that the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol deal with between 180 and 200 lost kids every summer. It is a great job they all do every year.
Along a backdrop of endless sand and glistening surf, 17-month-old Caleb waddled across the beach in Stone Harbor on Sunday, holding a bucket in one hand and his father’s hand in the other.
His parents, Ryan and Kate Seremet, of Pittsburgh, take constant notice of their son, who is quick for a toddler who just recently learned to walk.
“You just have to be focused,” his father said.
But people are not always focused when it comes to a day at the beach with their children.
Southern New Jersey beach patrols reunite hundreds of temporarily lost children with their parents each summer.
The Stone Harbor Beach Patrol reported dealing with about 100 missing children per summer. Sea Isle City’s Beach patrol reported 180 to 200.
