Community suport officers (PCSOs) "did not stand by and watch" a 10-year-old boy drown, a police chief has said.
Jordon's mother Tracy Ganderton and stepfather Anthony, of Bluebell Avenue, Wigan, are demanding to know why the PCSOs did not try to rescue Jordon and why they did not give evidence at the inquest held by deputy West Manchester coroner Alan Walsh on Friday.
Mr Ganderton told the inquest: "I don't know why they didn't go in. I can't understand it.
"If I had been walking along a canal and seen a child drowning I would have jumped in.
I want to know why an 8 year girl and 10 year old boy were allowed to play unsupervised near water. Where were the parents?
They should be prosecuted for neglect - unfit parents looking to offload the blame.
Very sad that the boy drowned
