Un guardavidas en Punta del Este, Uruguay, fue agredido por los padres de un niño de tres años al que salvó de ahogarse. A pesar de las advertencias sobre el peligro, los padres permitieron que el pequeño entrara al agua. Tras el rescate, se inició una discusión que terminó en violencia física contra el socorrista.

00:00It's an incredible story, difficult to tell.
00:02Imagine that a lifeguard on the beach tells the parents,
00:06be careful because it's dangerous for a three-year-old.
00:09The parents disobey.
00:11Imagine that the child goes into the water.
00:13Imagine that the lifeguard has to go rescue this creature.
00:17How do they pay for this heroic act of a lifeguard
00:21of saving the creature by hitting him?
00:23I think telling it in the right way.
00:25We are talking about Punta del Este.
00:27We are with Mr. Carlos Curbelo,
00:28who is the coordinator of the lifeguards of the place.
00:30Carlos, I'm Luis Novarese.
00:31Good day, 24.
00:32Thank you for attending us.
00:37We'll get back to you in a moment.
00:39This happened, you were telling me, Mumi, in La Barra.
00:40It happened in La Barra, precisely in Uruguay,
00:44in everything that is the area of the coast of Punta del Este,
00:46from Punta del Este to José Ignacio, passing.
00:49There are signs that indicate that there are certain beaches
00:51where one cannot enter the sea.
00:54It is forbidden to bathe due to the danger that this represents.
00:57We know the number of people who have lost their lives
01:00on the Uruguayan beaches in the face of the danger of the sea.
01:03This happened in La Barra.
01:04It was a family, a mother who approaches the sea
01:07with her three-year-old son.
01:08The boy enters the water and the lifeguard tells him
01:11if he can run to his son from the inside of the water
01:14because it was a real danger.
01:16It was an area where it was forbidden to bathe
01:18if he could move elsewhere.
01:20The woman leaves her son.
01:22This is what transcended.
01:23Three years, huh?
01:24Three years.
01:25We are talking about a three-year-old boy.
01:28A level of indefense of the total creature.
01:31The woman leaves her son in the water,
01:33goes to look for her husband,
01:35and that's when the little one pushes him into the current,
01:38sucks him, as the current is explained,
01:40and the lifeguard takes him out.
01:41When the lifeguard takes him out,
01:43the husband begins a discussion,
01:44the little one's father begins a discussion with the lifeguard,
01:47and the piñas end.
01:48You know what I'm also remembering?
01:51I say this because of the level of violence.
01:53In mid-January, if my memory serves me right,
01:55there was an incident on the Argentine coast,
01:57a man who also fought with a lifeguard
02:01because they tell him...
02:02Do you remember this case?
02:03Yes, yes.
02:04Exactly.
02:05But what impacts me is this, right?
02:08In Santa Teresita, there was an incident
02:09between two families because of the music
02:11that ends with a person pulling a woman's hair
02:14and falling.
02:15The police, which does nothing,
02:16nor does the police, which is waiting,
02:18waiting for what happens in a discussion,
02:20like a rage.
02:21A rage, but that's why I tell you...
02:22Yes, but beyond the rage.
02:24It seems to me that they are two different cases.
02:25I can't believe it, really,
02:27that a couple leaves their three-year-old son
02:31in a place where they tell you...
02:32It's forbidden to bathe.
02:34Who recriminates the man to the lifeguard?
02:36You saved me.
02:37Carlos Curbelo is the lifeguard coordinator of the area.
02:41Carlos, I'm Luis Novaresio.
02:42Good day, 24.
02:42Thank you for attending us.
02:46But it will be from God that he bet again.
02:49Do you think life will be easy?
02:51Well, no, but we will give him battles.
02:52In Punta del Este, on the night of December 31st,
02:55from January 31st to January 1st,
02:57a person also enters the sea,
03:00ends up saving two people,
03:02ends up drowning.
03:03That is, the danger of the place,
03:04I mean, going back to the case of the boy,
03:06the danger of the place
03:08made that lifeguard try to save the boy,
03:10and in fact he tried to do it.
03:11It happened to me to be on a beach
03:13there in the Uruguayan area,
03:16arriving at José Ignacio,
03:17and that the same lifeguard
03:18approaches to place a poster in the middle of the shore.
03:21And you ask, what happens?
03:22He says, no, look, you can't enter here anymore,
03:24the tide is going down, it's full of rocks,
03:26it's super dangerous.
03:27Now, if we question the lifeguard,
03:28if we question the role and power of the lifeguard
03:30in a place where he knows,
03:31knows where there are wells,
03:33where to move, where not.
03:34It blows my mind, it's been three years.
03:37I have this deformation
03:39of when in another life
03:41I went through law school,
03:42to say, hey, what used to be called
03:44a protested homeland was parental responsibility.
03:47Not so much a discussion, two parents,
03:49but it's like those cases where you leave the kids
03:51in the cars, in the parking lot,
03:53to go play bingo, to the casino.
03:56To go buy.
03:57Sure, to go buy.
03:58Some have ended up fatally, right?
04:01They transform a heat chamber,
04:02the temperature rises inside a vehicle as well,
04:04when you leave a child alone.
04:06Well, at least I hope
04:09that this couple
04:11has to go through the process.
04:13There is a judicial process.
04:14There is a judicial process in Maldonado's justice.
04:17What happens is that I suppose
04:18the prosecutor will take it,
04:20following the Argentine laws,
04:21I don't know the Uruguayan legislation,
04:23as minor injuries,
04:25simply that he can redeem it,
04:27I would even tell you if it were here in Argentina,
04:29with an approbation.
04:30Of course.
04:31We'll see what happens there.
04:32We'll see what happens.
04:33In any case, as you say,
04:34parental responsibility,
04:35I can't believe it.
04:36I can't believe that you leave a three-year-old
04:39in a place where they tell you,
04:41hey, if he stays there in the water, he can drown.
04:43Good.
04:44Well, then we'll come back.
