Chloe Lewis, known for her appearances on 'The Only Way Is Essex' (TOWIE), recently shared the tragic news of her six-year-old son Beau losing a finger due to an unfortunate ice skating accident that took place on New Year's Eve. The incident occurred when Beau’s finger was severely injured during skating, leading to an urgent trip to the hospital where doctors attempted, but ultimately failed, to reattach the severed digit.
In her emotional social media post, Chloe expressed her deep sorrow and feelings of being 'broken' after her son's accident. This traumatic experience has prompted her to advocate for greater safety measures for children in ice skating activities. She is now campaigning for the mandatory use of protective gloves for kids while they skate, highlighting the need for more stringent safety regulations to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The incident not only underscores the risks associated with ice skating for children but also brings attention to the broader issue of safety in recreational activities. By sharing her family's ordeal, Chloe hopes to raise awareness among parents and policymakers to ensure better protection for children engaged in sports and leisure activities, possibly preventing such accidents from occurring in the future.
