Janine's son was stabbed to death at 16 - now she wants to save others

A heartbroken mother whose ''bubbly'' son was stabbed to death is now raising money for bleed kits in a bid to save young lives. Janine Campbell, 33, was left devastated when her young son was killed outside the gym where he was training to be a boxer.

He had left home just minutes before the attack, with Janine, a learning mentor, describing the phone call she then received as ''every mother's worst nightmare''. Teon Campbell, 16, was declared dead at the scene after being fatally stabbed in broad daylight on April 13, 2022.

His attacker, a 16-year-old boy, was known to him but cannot be named for legal reasons. Keen to make sure other mothers ''don't go through the same pain'', Janine is now raising money for stab kits, which she hopes will be distributed within her community.
