Peter Andre feels petrified over Junior and Princess’ safety
The tragedy of 14-year-old Kelyan Bokassa, who was stabbed to death on a London bus last week, struck a chord with the 51-year-old singer and TV star.
Reflecting on the heartbreaking incident in his weekly column for OK!, Peter shared his thoughts on the dangers young people face and his own journey of letting his children gain independence.
“It was so tragic to hear about the 14-year-old boy, Kelyan Bokassa, who was stabbed on a London bus. I can’t imagine that feeling as a parent,” Peter wrote.
“My heart aches for that young boy’s family. Knife crime is a real issue that needs to be dealt with.”
The star recalled his own fears when Junior and Princess began travelling on public transport.
“I remember when Junior and Princess started to go on trains – I was petrified,” he mused.
“Sometimes I wouldn’t let them, but then I thought, you need to let kids grow up and can’t wrap cotton wool around them. But the problem is, the world is unsafe and you can’t protect them all of the time.”
