Mother fears for children’s lives

A NIGERIAN mother-of-five said she is fearful for her children’s lives after an attack was carried out on her Waterford home on Tuesday evening.

Mary Simon, aged 38, was at work with the Brothers of Charity in Waterford on Tuesday at about 11.30pm when the windows on the ground floor of her terraced house in Clonard Park, Ballybeg, were broken in what she said was an unprovoked attack.

Ms Simon’s son Victor, 17, was at home with brothers Samuel, 15, and Solomon, 13, when he heard the windows smash.
