Mother’s worries
& dilemma
Figure of Speech: Contrast
this summer, at least five families like mine have waved off their children on teen-only holidays, only to get the devastating news a few days later that they would never be coming back. Last week, 17-year-old Andre Young became the latest holiday victim: his body was discovered in Crete with severe head injuries. There have been similar tragedies in other resorts frequented by teens: in July, 19-year-old Allan Milligan of Johnstone in Scotland fell off a hotel balcony and died while on holiday with his friends in Tenerife; the same month, Jordan Carter of Pembrokeshire, who was celebrating the end of her A-levels with classmates in Gran Canaria, was found dead in her bed.
