The notes left by their friends and residents of the lakeside area are heartbreaking.
The British are still shocked by the tragedy that unfolded 2 days ago in Solihull, where 3 little boys died when they fell into a frozen lake and one is hospitalized in an extremely critical condition.
All the children were between 6 and 11 years old.
The four children suffered a heart attack when the ice they were stepping on in Babbs Mill Park’s lake broke, causing them to fall into the icy waters.
The notes left by their friends and residents of the lakeside area are heartbreaking.
