THE PERRY AND AUSTIN RESCUE FUND

1. it's been too long: will it go to their families?

[Contrary1]

4. Here's what their gofundme page says:

"Should there be any surplus funds at the conclusion of the search and rescue efforts, they will be directed to aid in similar activity that will benefit saving lives in related situations."

Like you, I think these boys are lost. But the donated money may help to save others.

2. I understood that they were from wealthy families, so

I wonder what the money is for.

11. This is what the gofundme page says:

"The Perry & Austin Rescue Fund" will be utilized to fund private aircraft, boat fuel and any other additional resources needed for the immediate recovery of these missing boys.

Should there be any surplus funds at the conclusion of the search and rescue efforts, they will be directed to aid in similar activity that will benefit saving lives in related situations.

12. Oh, well that makes sense if they are putting on their own search

as well as the Coast Guard's search.

Very sad, but I think those kids are gone forever.

[tammywammy]

14. Oh yeah, very sad. :(

[closeupready]

3. Such a compelling story, heartbreaking.

5. Sad Story, but what strikes me is why hasn't anyone pointed a finger at the parents

for allowing this...

[SummerSnow]

6. I have wondered the same thing.

9. talk radio mentioned it a bit, that 14 too young to be on ocean

Without adult supervision.

13. The parents would have to put up with angry cranky kids if they said no.

Now they wish they had. Because now they have missing kids.

7. What boys lost at sea? I've been off news a bit.

[cwydro]

8. Two fourteen year olds took a boat out off Florida to go fishing.

Boat found capsized.

Boys supposed to be experienced boaters, but they've not been found.
