Grieving Mother Asks Key Questions About Her Son’s Accident

Today, a heartbroken mother took to Facebook, exactly one month after losing her son to a tragic traffic accident. Overwhelmed with grief and questions, she shared her sorrow and concerns. The students from Ocean Academy High School in Caye Caulker were on their way to Orange Walk for a basketball game when one of the vehicles had a blowout and flipped multiple times. Tragically, Alex Bainton succumbed to severe injuries a few days later. His mother, Nikita Marin, questioned why her son was in a private car when she had signed a document for him to travel by school bus. She expressed her frustration, noting that no teacher had contacted her to ask if it was okay for him to travel in a private car. Marin also raised concerns about whether the car was insured, who owned it, and why the students weren’t wearing seat belts. She is left wondering who will be held accountable for her son’s untimely death.
