Mayor Bernard: “It’s a Supervision Issue”
The investigation into the death of 6-year-old King Shakel Wade continues. The boy’s body was recovered from a canal near Fairweather Street in Belize City after he disappeared from outside his babysitter’s home.
Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the K.H.M.H.
Yesterday, reporters asked Belize City Mayor Bernard Wagner about increased safety around the canals. He said, “It’s a supervision issue, and we have had canals from I grew up. I’ve never, I think this may be one of the first incidents I’ve heard of someone falling in a canal in my entire life.”
Mayor Bernard added, “It’s a one-off type, but we can’t lose that. Listen, a child died.” Bernard said that parents have to be held accountable for their children’s whereabouts.
“Parents need to know where their children are at every given moment in time.
