flag A UK mother campaigns for mandatory ice rink gloves for kids after her son lost part of his finger in an accident.

flag Former TOWIE star Chloe Lewis is pushing for mandatory protective gloves for children under 12 at UK ice rinks after her six-year-old son Beau lost part of his finger in a New Year’s Eve accident. flag The injury occurred when Beau, who had briefly removed his gloves, fell and his finger was run over by another skater’s bladed skate. flag Despite emergency surgery at the Royal London Hospital, the finger could not be reattached. flag Lewis spoke publicly on Good Morning Britain, sharing her trauma and launching a petition that has drawn over 24,000 signatures, triggering a government response. flag Planet Ice has already pledged to require gloves for children under 12 starting June 1, but Lewis is calling for nationwide legislation. flag The petition could lead to a parliamentary debate if it reaches 100,000 signatures.
