A few months ago I posted about a very close friend of mine whose nephew died at 2 years in a duckpond on a caravan site.

The family have now organised a petition to campaign for safer public water attractions. They'd be very grateful if you could sign the petition \link{http://www.matthewmarsden.co.uk\here}

TIA

Have signed and cried - what a horrible thing to happen but I hope this petition means some tiny shred of goodness comes from this tragedy. Sad

Bumping this up again.

I spoke to my friend this morning and she's very touched by all the kind mumsnetters. Big thanks.

Can we try and get it up to 100 mumsnetters??

Oh my God, that has just broke my heart, I cant stop the tears. Just cant imagine how the poor family must feel.

God bless his little soul, may he play and smile for eternity. His parents now know who their little guardian angel is.
