⌠âyou got to watch your children every secondâ â grieving mother advices parents
A six-year-old boy is now dead after he drowned in a water-filled excavation pit at Glasgow Housing Scheme, East Bank Berbice (EBB) on Sunday afternoon. Dead is six-year-old Kayden Busey, a former student of All Saints Primary School.
His grieving mother, Gaynor Paul said she has been replaying the events leading up to the death of her son, wondering whether the outcome would have been different had she been able to follow her usual routine of constantly checking on her children. The grieving mother said she had done a detox earlier and subsequently became weak and unwell. âI end up feeling sick. So I decided to lie down. I do the detox early, about 9 oâclock time,â she recalled. According to Paul, after resting for some time, she later awoke and checked on her children. She said they were all at home and playing in the yard. She explained that a friend later visited, and the children were still nearby and she sent the older children to purchase beverages and they returned. However, a short while later, a neighbour alerted her that a child was missing while playing at the Sideline Dam and persons were looking for the child. At the time, the mother of eight said she still did not know that it was her son the persons were searching for. When she arrived at the area, several persons had already gathered and a search was underway in the water-filled excavation. She said that it was then she was informed that the missing child might be her son.
