If the only thing getting wet is the pants, then the water is probably less than 3 feet deep. For a kid to be bad enough, conciously bad enough, bad with intent to be bad; then they are almost certainly going to be old enough (and big enough) to not drown in less than 3" of water.

Actually, the point of my post is to emphasize that the questions are hypothetical. So you have to answer with just the facts given, and you are only saying what you THINK you would do. The point of the discussion is to explore what you think. No way to KNOW what you would actually do unless the situation presented itself exactly (and in the limited fashion) as described here.

So answer based on what you know. Forget about who they are or what you would like to know about them or screaming for them to move or all that. Just answer the question based on what was given. Think of it as a little game.

As far as how we would behave if one of these situations actually arose; #1 seems the only tricky one. Most don't really KNOW what they'd do. Kind of like people who KNOW what they'd do if they won the lottery. With no exposure to anything like such an experience, they don't know - they are only guessing. If you need proof, consider that something like 50 to 75% of $1M+ winners are broke in 2 years. Wonder how many of them had that in their KNOWN plans?
