The nation has been left heartbroken since three young boys died after falling into a frozen lake, with a fourth fighting for his life. But Greater Manchester Police is still having to remind people not play on frozen lakes and ponds.
The boys - aged eight, 10 and 11 - were pulled from the icy lake at Babbs Mill Park in Solihull, West Midlands. Flowers, balloons and toys have all been left at the scene since the tragedy on Sunday (December 11), after the trio fell into the water and suffered cardiac arrests.
Officers from GMP issued a warning to families urging them to warn children of the dangers of playing on frozen water soon after the tragedy unfolded, but the message still hasn't got through to some. In a post on Facebook today (December 14), a spokesperson for GMP Leigh, Atherton and Hindley said: "Despite the recent tragic incident in Solihull reports are still coming in of children playing on ice covered ponds/lakes.
