What an absolute tragedy at Solihull. 4 little boys lost their lives this week. 3 boys go to feed the ducks, all family members 6 & 8 yr old brothers and 11 yr old cousin. Venture onto the ice covered lake, one falls in, they try to rescue him coupled with a completely random heroic 10 year old and all lose their lives. I'm a mum of 3 boys and cannot imagine what these families are going through

Ice Tragedy
Just felt I had to say this. I know it's not football related but then again there are a lot of topics that aren't so...

Re: Ice Tragedy
Shocking. I didn’t know those facts BB. A random boy tried to help. Thought they were all together

I know Jay, Jack the 10 year old didn't know the others, he heard their screams and just ran to help and lost his life in the process

Re: Ice Tragedy
Oh god. Somehow that seems even worse in a way. That is a brave thing to do. You’ve not got long in water at that temperature. Poor kids. I’d say what the hell were they doing there at that age on their own but we were pretty feral at that age. Surprised we all survived tbhbecchio bear wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 9:49 pm I know Jay, Jack the 10 year old didn't know the others, he heard their screams and just ran to help and lost his life in the process![]()

Re: Ice Tragedy
Absolutely horrendous.
I can't begin to imagine the pain and sorrow the families of those boys must be feeling.

Re: Ice Tragedy
Very das indeed, how many times does this have to happen before people realise walking on frozen rivers lakes etc is dangerous in the UK?
Stop worryin' about what people say, when it ain't gonna stop them anyway.

Re: Ice Tragedy
Absolute tragedy for all concerned.
Something like this happens every year, it's all down to education from the parents, unfortunately, you can't be with your kids all the time, kids will be kids, they want to express themselves and be free, they don't see the dangers, a lot of parents don't see the dangers, snow and ice brings fun and games (or should do)
My heart goes out to all concerned.

Re: Ice Tragedy
Terrible event. Poor kids
Very preventable.
This will be absolutely devastating for the families.
