The heartbroken mother of 15-year-old Harvey Willgoose, who was fatally stabbed at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield on February 3, has shared the harrowing moment she learned of the attack.
Caroline Willgoose, 49, was preparing for work when her husband Mark informed her Harvey had been stabbed, and she was rushed to the hospital in a police car.
Tragically, Harvey died before reaching the hospital.
On February 8, hundreds marched in Sheffield in memory of Harvey, with Caroline and Mark carrying a banner reading ‘Lives not Knives’. A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder, possession of a bladed article, and affray.

00:00I was getting ready to go to work, so we were on afternoons, and Mark's mum rang me and said,
00:09you need to get in touch with Sophie, something serious has happened, and then Mark shouted.
00:13So I rang Mark, and I said, your mum said I've got to get in touch with Sophie, and he went,
00:18and he just shouted at the phone, he's been stabbed, he's been stabbed, it's serious, it's serious.
00:23And then as soon as he said that, the police car came up and went, you need to come with us now,
00:28and I'm just like, what? It's just horrendous. Because blue lights, we were going to go to Northern General,
00:35and then we've got blue lights on, me and my son were there, and then they said,
00:41we're going to Children's to turn blue lights off, and I still thought, it's alright.
00:52And I just said, Dad, you think he's alright? And I said, yeah.
00:57And when the towel goes, I think I've just said to them, it needs to be as blunt as,
01:07show that video, show that video of us being told that our son has been,
01:14show that video of us going to Children's Bodega, and identifying him,
01:19hearing how we were, it needs to be as blunt as that, and if they've got that on video, show it.
01:27Was Harvey still alive when you got to the hospital? Or had he passed?
01:31No, he passed. He said he passed, but he couldn't get out, because he'd passed at the school.
