Shark Attack Victim Slams Down Bystanders Who Were No Help During Horrifying Incident

Some people find it calming to go swimming or surfing in the water close to the beaches. Yet the risks that lie in these perilous seas pose a real threat to the safety of unsuspecting tourists. Recently, a young woman was swimming along the shore when a bad omen came in the form of a shark. The young woman, who lost her arm in the horrific incident, has harshly criticized the spectators who videotaped the scene instead of helping.

Ethan Blackshaw of the Daily Star reported the comments made by shark attack victim Kaylanne Timoteo Freitas to local media. The reporter makes plain how upset the victim was as she lost an arm as others continued to film.

The moment she loses her faith in humanity

On March 6, Kaylanne Timoteo Freitas was brutally attacked by a shark on Piedade Beach in Brazil. The predator grabbed her stomach as she swam away from the shore. She attempted to attack the predator, but it bit her again, ripping off part of her left arm just below the elbow. Kaylanne, stunned by the horrible reality of her worst dread, wondered whether what had happened was real or if someone was simply playing a prank on her. After reaching the shore, she screamed in anguish and began bleeding heavily from her severed arm. Moreover, she saw that many onlookers were capturing her suffering with their mobile devices.

During her interview with local media, she talked about this horrible experience as reported by Daily Star, saying, “No one respected me at the time. I understand that it’s something that everyone wants to record, to show what’s happening. But at the time, I wasn’t thinking about that. I just thought I was going to lose my arm for the rest of my life. During the attack, there were people filming instead of helping, aside from the comments. That’s what killed me inside.” Disgusted, she observed as just a few courageous people helped her in her life-or-death predicament while the others stood by and watched.

The swimming session that changed her life

After some reconstructive surgery and some antibiotics, Kaylanne can go home from the hospital. Her parents are exploring therapeutic options for her after she had surgical pain and panic attacks. In order to pay for a prosthetic arm and the necessary medicines, the family has turned to internet fundraising.

Kaylanne is unwilling to quit despite the horrific occurrence because she is determined and has embraced the path that destiny wants her to take.
