'Talk to your children about the dangers of train tracks' says bereaved Kent mum
In 2006, 17 year old Jade Kenyon died walking along the Medway Valley Line close to her home in Snodland.
A Kent mum is urging other parents to talk to their children about the dangers of train tracks - after her daughter died after being electrocuted on a railway line.
In 2006, 17 year old Jade Kenyon died walking along the Medway Valley Line close to her home in Snodland.
Her mum - Rachel Farrington said: "Jade was a normal teenager, she did push boundaries but she didn't risk her personal safety if she knew about the dangers.
"So if she had better education, I do believe she would be here today but if I had better knowledge and would've been able to educate my kids there is also a strong chance we would've been here today and the outcome may have been different"
"Talking to your teenager is really tough going, it's hard to talk to them about their safety and the dangerous out there. They don't always want to hear it but it's really important that we talk to them, and have honest conversations about keeping off the tracks and keeping themselves safe."
It comes after Network Rail launched a campaign which aims to raise awareness of the dangers that coming into contact with the railway can have.
The series of films feature first responders collaborating with professionals from the film industry to recreate the sights, sounds and impacts they have encountered when dealing with life-threatening injuries caused by coming into contact with the electric rail.
Nicole Lee is the NHS Burns Network Manager for the London and South East and she said: "I've witnessed the severe consequences of third rail injuries. The high voltage can cause profound burns, leading to long-term physical and emotional suffering.
"It's distressing to see individuals endure injuries that could have been easily prevented by staying off the tracks. These injuries not only affect the victims but also have a lasting impact on their families and friends."
