JSixpack Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 SO sad, one of the saddest things I've ever heard of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) The saddest part of this story is how easy it could have been prevented. But the general attitude in this country seems to be just wait for tragedy to occur and then react rather than try and prevent it. Jonathan’s distraught mother pleaded with other parents to make sure their gates were safe to prevent any further tragedies like this happening to their children.
