County Durham mum who lost son, 14, in river tragedy re-issues water safety plea
The mum of a County Durham teenager who lost his life in a river tragedy has reissued an urgent warning about water safety following the death of a man in the River Tees. The death of 20-year-old Jacob Rutkowski from Darlington on Friday (June 20) has reminded mum-of-four Fiona Gosling from Crook of her own heartbreak. Fiona's son Cameron was just 14-years-old when he jumped into the River Wear near Bishop Auckland on July 5, 2015, unaware of any risks he would face in the water. Cameron Gosling, 14. Cameron's heart stopped beating when he entered the river, because he had not acclimatised to the temperature and he died of what is known as cold water shock. Since his passing, Fiona has used Cameron's story to educate thousands of children about water safety - but has admitted that this latest incident in Gainford, near Darlington, has reminded her of her own grief. Fiona told The Northern Echo: "I saw the story online yesterday when it all started to evolve, and watched it happen. I tend to do that if something big is going on. "Then, it was about 10.55pm when I saw the post go up from police saying they had found a body." Mother Fiona and son Cyle Gosling who campaign for Cold Water safety. She added: "As soon as you hear about anything like this, it takes you right back to where you were when it happened to you. "It makes me sit down and go through all of Cameron's things and I'll go on my social media page to see if there is anything I can share. "But it is hard - it's really hard." News first broke of an incident in Gainford yesterday when the air ambulance, mountain rescue crews, police helicopter, paramedics and fire crews all rushed to the rural village at about 2.30pm. LIVE: Tributes paid to Jacob Rutkowski after River Tees tragedy - updates Police cordoned off an area where ambulance incident response teams and the fire service water unit parked up, blocking access to the river banks after reports of concerns for a man in the river. Fiona Gosling delivering a school assembly. Tragically, Durham Police later confirmed that they had found a body in the river. Tributes have since been paid to Jacob Rutkowski; described as a "beautiful soul" as his family try to raise funds to pay for his send off. But this latest tragedy has made Fiona, 48, worry that her pleas to stay safe in the water are going unheard. She added: "I do tend to just sit back and think, have we missed something? You do tend to feel a little bit guilty and think: 'is your message not getting out to the right people?'"? "This is something that can be avoided. As soon as the heatwaves start, I can just sense what is going to happen. "I always think that it's going to be a very long few months and we'll see so many tragedies not only with youngsters but people in general who aren't aware of what is going on around them in the water." Cameron Gosling, 14. Fiona then re-issued a plea to anyone thinking of taking a dip to cool down this summer - regardless of their age or experience in the water. She said: "Know your points of entry and points of exit - and never go swimming on your own. If you are swimming and you feel something isn't right, you know your own body.

I do want to stay away, but I know that's never going to happen. "The water is going to be cold - just because we have hot weather does not mean the water is going to be warm. "Watch out for everyone around you. Be aware that water does not discriminate. "It will take old, young, swimmer, non-swimmer - it does not care. You have to be really careful."

Grieving mum told 'move 200 miles from city' as she mourns loss of beloved husband
A grieving mum vowed to live in a tent rather than split her family up - after Birmingham Council identified a new home for her nearly 200 miles from the city. Mum-of-four Geraldine White was stunned to be told she was a potential match for a new home in Hartlepool after her family were forced out of their previous privately-rented home. They had to quit the property in Nechells as they mourned the loss of Geraldine's husband Martin, who died days into the the New Year. READ MORE: Boy, 16, arrested as armed police swoop on Small Heath street where 'gun seen in car' Despite being bounced between a hotel in Walsall, a hostel in Tyseley and even a night sleeping rough in their shed, Geraldine refused the move to the north-east, which would have only included her and her youngest son. But she said a council worker still tried to tempt her - telling her: 'You'll be by the beach'. The authority denied a formal offer was made but said "all-time high" demand for homes in the city "severely restricted" what it could offer. "I'd rather buy a tent and camp on a piece of grass," Geraldine said. "All I have left is my family. "It's breaking my heart. We haven't been able to grieve properly. I've lost my home and my husband and If I wanted to sit beside his grave, I'd have to travel all the way down from Hartlepool." Of the Hartlepool offer, a journey of some 187 miles, she said: "The woman was very abrupt, I said I couldn't move there because it was nowhere near my family, my son's school.' She said: 'But you'll be by the beach.'" Geraldine said the upheaval around their housing meant her children, aged between 17 and 33, had been 'unable to grieve' their beloved husband and father, who died after setting himself on fire. The couple had been celebrating with a friend and two sons when the harrowing incident took place. She recalled: "I saw was a ball of smoke and saw him standing there. He'd got a lighter and set himself on fire." Warned of a four-hour wait for an ambulance, the family rushed him to hospital themselves but nothing could be done and he died on January 3. Geraldine said "nobody knew" why the incident took place. But she stressed it wasn't suicide. "We were in a rented property, we were trying to save up and move somewhere. We were trying to find somewhere smaller." While the family were arranging Martin's funeral, bailiffs turned up at the property as the landlord was served a High Court writ. She said: "We had to get out that day. We had nowhere to go. "Me and my daughter slept in the shed that night. The next day, we went to a Travelodge in Walsall." Now, the family are bidding on three-bed homes where they can "all be together". She added: "I'm not asking for a fancy house, we all want to be together. "The stress is mounting. There's only so much you can handle. I'm trying to stay as strong as I can because I'm trying to sort things out. But everywhere I turn, I'm hitting a brick wall. "We're such a close knit family, with what's happened it's made us even closer. The trauma we've been through, we just want some normality - whatever normal is." Birmingham City Council said: "The country is in the grip of a severe national housing crisis and demand for accommodation in Birmingham is at an all-time high. "The accommodation shortage severely restricts what options we can offer to people in need, and we know many people across the city are in difficult situations and facing a long wait for a home. "The council's housing service looks at all options for suitable homes and we focus on matching families to properties which are both affordable and provide a positive environment for them, meeting their specific needs. "Geraldine was initially placed as a potential match for a property outside Birmingham, however after discussions with the housing team, it was determined the property was not suitable, so an offer was not made. We understand Geraldine is in a difficult situation and are working with her to find suitable housing for herself and her family." Have you been affected by this? We would like to hear from you.
