CHILD WARNING [CHILD WARNING] Chinese kid drowns in public pool, goes unnoticed until end

Repost with longer video + original audio and some context.

If you're retarded like me and took a while to find the kid, he jumps into the pool by the ladder near the bottom of the clip and sinks near instantaneously, around the 16 second mark.

Context:

On August 14th, 2022, an unnamed 8yr old from the Lianyuan city of China drowned in a public pool after a minute of struggle despite the presence of others nearby. At one point, another child could be observed jumping near him, though he must've not seen his struggling as a sign of genuine distress.

There are a number of articles that mostly regurgitate the same information. The one below makes an interesting note of how children may not have the presence of mind to call out for help like adults would in that situation, and their flails to stay afloat could be taken as play. The article lists the signs of youth drowning to know when it's time to take a child out of the water.
