David and Elana Barnes, from Connecticut have sparked outrage after a video of their five-year-old daughter SWIMMING WITH SHARKS in the Bahamas went viral on YouTube. The Barnes' allowed their daughter Anaia to swim in shallow water with reef, lemon and nurse sharks during their vacation. The couple says they were fully aware of the risks and were satisfied that Anaia was safe during the activity. "At no point did I feel like this was dangerous," Mrs. Barnes said during an appearance on Good Morning America. Mr. Barnes added, "There's just always risk assessments in life every day. I'm more concerned that they don't put seatbelts in school buses." Nurse sharks and lemon sharks are not considered to be aggressive toward humans, but reef sharks are more of a threat. (Ananova)
