all the people talking about hydration obviously spend all their time inside... heat going to get you, hydrated or not.

Kids are more susceptible to overheating than adults bc their bodies aren’t able to regulate temperature as effectively yet so whether he was hydrated or not it wouldn’t have necessarily made a difference

“He should have drank more water” even if you drink a bunch of water heat can still get you and make you pass out.

even if you're well hydrated, you can still suffer from heat exhaustion/heat stroke, especially with the humidity we've been having in the Midwest this week. some people in the comments could use a little more empathy for the kid and his parents.

People! You can still get overheated even if you drink water!! What is everyone’s obsession with water and “hydration”?!? Yes water is important but some act like it cures all!

why are we literally blaming the kid 😭 kids are literally learning how to navigate the world for this first time, and a reminder that even us adults forget to drink water. it's human, leave the kid alone

Never heard of Jenkins, but he’s my new favorite baseball player. He was alert and did not hesitate to reach out to the boy, scoop him up, and run him to aid.
