Mum 'doesn't understand' how no one could save her boy from drowning

A mum says her life is on hold waiting for answers after her young son drowned. Grief-stricken Vicky Waugh has also warned people not to go swimming in open water this summer following her boy's devastating death.

Vicky Waugh's 16-year-old son Kalen was cooling off with friends at a popular spot among scores of others when he got into trouble last July. The single parent says that her life is on hold while she waits for an inquest, which is due to take place on July 17.

She told the Mirror: "I just don’t understand how it happened. There was that many people in the water, I don’t understand how he’s got into danger without someone noticing and being able to get him."
