The heartbroken parents of a five-year-boy who died after being swept away in a fast-flowing river in Northern Ireland have said their son "just melted your heart".

Darrel and Leanne Fleck said their son Kayden was "happy-go-lucky" and "your average wee boy".

They described Kayden and his twin brother, Jayden, as "the two musketeers".

A statement released by the Police Service of Northern Ireland on behalf of Mr and Mrs Fleck added: "The family want to thank each of the agencies who were involved in the search and rescue operation yesterday, and say they are grateful for the community support they have received since."

(抜粋)両親が言うには、亡くなった男の子は明るくてのんきな子で、普通の子だったそうです。(意訳) そして、実は双子の一人だったのです。
また、警察の発表によると、両親は捜索活動に参加してくれた人たちに深い感謝を述べるとともに、事件以来の地域からの支えに関してもお礼を表しています。

Kayden was swept away more than four miles down the Braid River in Ballymena, Co Antrim, on Saturday.

A major search and rescue operation was launched and the boy was recovered from the river and airlifted to the hospital, but he was declared dead shortly afterwards.

The boy's school, Harryville Primary, has asked for everyone to remember Kayden's family in their prayers.

In a statement on Facebook, the school said it was "a very sad time".

Kayden fell into the river near Skye Park at around 1pm on Saturday.

He was recovered from the water more than 45 minutes later near Tullaghgarley and immediately airlifted to hospital.

As news of the tragedy unfolded, the boy's school was inundated with messages of condolence for his family.

Posts on the school's Facebook wall read: "You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time of unimaginable loss."

Another said: "Bless this wee man. You will be deeply missed."

Last night tributes flooded in over social media for the Ballymena boy.

(抜粋)昨夜は、ソーシャル・メディアを通して、この少年への追悼メッセージが溢れていました。

One mum wrote: “Wee angel taken too soon had his whole life ahead of him.” Another said: “Totally heartbreaking, thoughts and prayers with you.”

Leader of the TUV Jim Allister also wrote on Twitter he offered his "heartfelt sympathy".

"Awful loss for local Ballymena family in today's river tragedy. Heartfelt sympathy at this terrible time. To lose a child must be nigh unbearable. The emergency services were marvellous but it was not to be enough. So sad."

他のサイト情報としては、少年が川に落ちた時は家族で散策していた時で、双子は二人とも川に落ちたのです。 一人はすぐに救助されましたが、Kayden の方は急流に流されてしまい、45分後に4マイル先で引き上げられたと言うことでした・・・。

さて、話はガラリと変わりますが、ジョージ・オーウェル( George Orwell )の 「1984」(小説) を読みましたが、かなりショッキングで、且つ、勉強になりました、こんな社会にしてはならないと。 単なる絵空事とは思えないぐらいです。 (当ブログの関連記事はこちら

全体主義や、監視社会を目論む輩(ヤカラ)は絶えないのかも知れません、彼(オーウェル)が言うように。
