A Nottinghamshire mum has joined the emergency services in issuing a warning to young people and their parents after her hero son died saving the lives of two girls in open water. Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service have joined forces to raise awareness of the dangers of entering the water at popular beauty spot Holme Pierrepont.
The services say that groups of young people have been gathering, many are being dropped off by their parents and some are entering the water and putting their lives at risk. Nicola Jenkins' 12 year old son, Owen, died on July 10, 2017, after he went into Beeston Weir to help two girls that were in trouble in the water.
Nicola is urging young people and their parents to listen to the advice of emergency services and avoid the heartbreak her family has been through. She said: "Parents who drop their children off here and in other places are putting their children in danger.
