On Monday, the Canadian dream of a family of Nigerian migrants who arrived in Quebec in April, 2018, turned into a nightmare, Montreal Journal reports.

Two days after moving into their first home in Montreal, the 6-year-old son drowned in a swimming pool in the Saint-Léonard neighborhood. "I dream of being able to go back," sobs Bukola Babayemi, 31.

On her way to the low-cost resort pool on Monday, when the weather was hot, she was far from suspecting that she was spending her last moments with her eldest son, Bukumi.

"I told him to stay next to me.

But it took a second of inattention and I lost it. I immediately alerted the rescuer, but it was too late,”

whispers the mother of three, in tears.

After being found unconscious in the bottom of the pool, the boy was rush to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

Bukumi was to start school in September.

The pool has since be shutdown. In hopes of providing a better life for her children, Ms. Babayemi made the big trip to Canada from Houston, U.S last April.

Arrived in the United States in August 2016, she said she quickly realized that this country was not made for her family.

"It's so hard for the migrants there. We can do almost nothing, I had to beg for church food for my children," she said.

It's so sad to lose a child.
May his wonderful soul REST IN PERFECT PEACE.

For the bolded part of her message, that is what just happened when you don't have the official/legal documents to live in a foreign country, if you are a legal resident, you won't have any reason to beg for food or be living in a church, especially in the States.

RIP to this cute boy once more.

Why allow underage kids go to pools without proper adult supervision. Even adults drown too, hawk eyes are needed when kids are around pools. Rip to the innocent child.

Saw this on the news last night.
The summer is often accompanied by an increase in the number of pool goers. More so, this past few days have been extremely hot in Montreal, that triples the number of people at the pool. Yet, they couldn't increase the number of lifeguards at the pool. such negligence.

RIP young kid.

How can you be telling him to stay close to you when you were suppose to make sure he is on the other side from the pool. Some women can be sluggish. You will see some with kids on the road not holding the hands of their children and yet want the kid to stay safe. There are places you will be and don't take chances. It is her fault and needs to be punished.
