A BODY found in the River Thames on Monday is that of missing teenager Joshua Beasley

From Bexley Times

Josh was a pupil at our two oldest childrens secondary school and i know my Son,Daughter and the rest of the school are completely devastated that someone they knew has died in such tragic circumstances.

God rest the young man.
And all the other kids that are losing their lives so needlessly just now.

Greatest sympathies to them all.
One of the girls I knew at school was murdered, so I know what it is like to lose a schoolmate.

I hope your children are able to talk to you about their friend, when I was that age I lost a school friend and found it very hard to verbalize my feelings.

I dont know the full circumstances of course but it seems like not a day goes by just now without some young kid losing their lives.Especially down here in London.
The rough ole streets of Edinburgh back home in Scotland seem like such a safe haven in comparison at times.........but then,times have changed.

Josh was a year or two above my own 2 so he was`st actually a friend of theirs as such but it`s actually my younger primary school girls that are asking the most questions strangely enough.

Mabey now our older two will understand why i get so annoyed when i cant get hold of them on their mobile phones and why i`m possibly tooo over-protective(seemingly??) at times.

Of course....R.I.P Young man

That is really awful. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
