If anyone had told Natalee Carty that Tuesday, June 2, would have been the last day she saw her 15-year-old son, Raheem Campbell, alive, she would not have believed it.
Carty said that she had previously warned Raheem against going to the river as a number of persons had lost their lives there over the years.
She said that when she last saw him on Tuesday afternoon, she did not know that he was heading to the river, which had last claimed the life of a Holmwood Technical High School student.
The grieving mom said that she had been seeing Raheem every day since COVID-19 forced the suspension of physical classes at his Trelawny-based high school.
Raheem’s grandmother, Jocelyn Carty, was in a daze state when The Gleaner visited the shop where her grandson spent much of his day.
