Toddler drowns in Pomeroon

Sep 10, 2013 News

 

The Roberts family of Jacklow, a Community located in the Upper Pomeroon, was forced to cancel a planned visit to church Sunday morning to launch a search for their two-year-old child who went missing moments after he was dressed for Church.
Reports emerging from the Pomeroon River indicate that two-year-old,Teyon Roberts, whose mother Barbara Roberts, had dressed him ahead of  other family members for Sunday Church, apparently walked out some distance to the family’s landing and fell overboard.
At the time his parents were said to be inside their Jacklow home making final preparations before they disembark their home for church.
A frantic search was launched by family members, who discovered the child’s lifeless body next to the family boat which was moored at the landing in the Pomeroon River.
The Roberts indicated that little Teyon Roberts was fond of boats and would get excited whenever he was dressed. The family members were subsequently assisted by their employer to transport little Teyon Roberts’ lifeless body to the Oscar Joseph Hospital, at Charity where a doctor later pronounced the toddler dead.
The police at the Charity Outpost was also informed.
In August another toddler drowned in a trench at her grandparents’ residence, at Charity Housing Scheme, after she apparently wandered away from her cousins and fell unnoticed in a trench close by.
The parents who lived at Grove, East Coast Demerara, had brought the child to the Coast to spend a vacation with her grandparents.
