Distraught parents can't eat or sleep

His traumatised parents are in emotional hell.

They haven't been able to eat or sleep since the loss of their two-year-old son in the most tragic of circumstances on Monday.

The boy, Henry Harrington, was playing with his skate scooter on the front porch of his family's bungalow when he saw his mother arriving home in her car outside the gate.

She didn't notice him as he ran towards the car, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), as she was reversing it into their driveway.
