The tragedy occurred Thursday when the child fell into the water and the mother jumped in after him, Swedish Maritime Administration spokesperson Jonas Franzen said. He said the child fell from a height of about 20 meters.

    What do you even do in a situation like this? If I saw my child fall from a ferry there is no way I wouldn’t jump in after even if I knew it was certain death. I can’t imagine living on just doing nothing!

      You wouldn’t stop to think about it. But how is it even possible for a 7 year old to fall overboard in the first place? Ferries are full of kids running around, something must have been very wrong for this to happen at all?
