'Please take the time now to prepare your children and their friendship group for what they will experience'
The grieving father of a 16-year-old boy who died after taking ecstasy at Leeds Festival has issued a heartfelt plea to parents to save other lives.
David's parents, Gianpiero and Nicola, said they wanted to appeal urgently to the families of youngsters attending to prepare their children for the dangers. The coroner said: "I hope that every young person attending the festival does not take the risk that they are the person holding that dreadful ticket.”
Speaking outside the court following the coroner’s narrative conclusion, Mr Celino said: "We don’t want to be here and we don’t want any other family to be standing where we are in the future.
