The operator of the boat, Dustin Healey, of Freehold New Jersey, is charged with one count of negligent operation. Healey, 26, will have his trial on March 20 in Ocean City District Court.
He faces a $500 fine.
Healey was not an experienced boater but had completed the requisite training course for rental boats, according to Natural Resources Police. He told investigators that he knew passengers were sitting on the bow, but could not see Frederick from the boat’s controls.
Healey was only alerted to the boy’s fall only when passengers began screaming, according to the report.

What is the trial date for the CAPTAIN who was charged with DWI by MSP? Why wasn't his name on the police blotter of detainees?
These are questions that SHOULD BE asked of Oglesvy when he asks for you to vote for him in TWO YEARS. The law enforcement community is untouchable even when they are DEAD WRONG as long as there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY by the States Attorneys' office.
Any regular citizen would be hung by him and the judiciary in Worcester Co. DOUBLE STANDARDS OF JUSTICE APPLY TO POLICE AGENCIES.
I think he was alerted to the boy's fall when he heard the "thunk" of the motor hitting the boy, and the motor flying up in the air when it went over the boy. It was already too late when the passengers began screaming.
This is incredibly sad, the boy's grand mom was a co-worker and the boat's driver is the son of a friend. Feel deeply for each family in light of this tragedy. Rest in Peace, Kaden
