THE HEARTBROKEN parents of Stuart Cunningham-Jones want to see someone prosecuted over the death of their only son.

Shattered couple Joanna and David Cunningham-Jones released a statement through their solicitor Peter Davies moments after a jury recorded a verdict of accidental death on the 12-year-old, who died just yards from his Ystradowen home in December 2002.

The inquest heard that a 13-year-old schoolboy had grabbed the steering wheel as he was pushed from behind as four teenagers jostled each other on the bus home from classes.

The bus swerved off the road into a tree, with a branch hitting Stuart on the top deck.

Staurt's father, building society executive David, 43, and his wife Joanna, 42, hit out at the Crown Prosecution Service decision not to prosecute the boys who caused the bus to crash.

Peter Davies said: "They find it difficult to accept that one of the main witnesses was not called to give evidence.

"And they are surprised at the police decision, on advice from the Crown Prosecution Service, not to prosecute those who caused the bus to leave the road.

"We will be asking for that decision to be reviewed.

"Those responsible for his death will have to live with the consequences of their actions and failures for the rest of their lives."

The schoolboys's relatives and family friends set up "Stuart's Campaign" after his death, a pressure group lobbying for all school buses to be fitted with seat belts.

Campaign chairman Christopher Howard said: "This inquest has been truly alarming for anyone who sends their

children to school by school

bus.

"Where else would adults expect to have 60 youngsters in a confined space without supervision except on a school bus."

The family also thanked their friends and family and the close Ystradowen community for their unwavering support over this last, difficult year.
