After Her Teen Son Dies, Mom Spreads Warning About The Dangers Of Swimming In Quarries
By Dreamer
A child passing away is a nightmare for any parent. It is a situation that is unexpected and one no one ever hopes to experience at any point in life. Parent's believe that their children as supposed to outlive them and produce families of their own.
Unfortunately, life throws us curve balls and the unexpected sometimes. Tragic accidents occur and parents become heartbroken when a child dies. Parents do all they can in order to make sure their children grow up to be better than they are, so it’s hard to understand what it may feel like to have a son or daughter pass away without having it happen to you.
Sally Yabra is one of those unfortunate parents. She lost her eldest son, Jonathan Baksh, after a swimming accident. The teen reportedly screamed for help three times before drowning.
But as the mom discovered, this wasn’t the only time an accident like this has occurred.
And if this danger was so common, why didn’t more parents know about it?
The hidden threat she is now advocating against is the seemingly innocent activity of jumping into and swimming in quarries. Every summer, kids and teens die after failing to understand their surroundings. Jumping from a high position can be deadly. Even the bottom of the quarry can hide traps like debris and sudden changes in depth and temperature.
Now, a year after her son’s death, Yabra is trying her best to make sure every parent is aware of all the dangers associated to swimming in quarries, and is urging everyone to avoid the activity. You can read more about the dangers in her petition, which you can sign here.
