A five-year-old boy has tragically died after he drowned in a swimming pool, just an hour after arriving at a holiday resort with his family.
Robin Caliskan had only just got to the Atlantic Reach holiday park in Newquay with his family. He had helped his mum and dad, Ferzane and Cemal Caliskan, pitch their tent before heading for a swim with them and his six-month-old baby brother, Renas.

Just minutes before, the family had been enjoying themselves as Cemal snapped photos of his family. The family then split with the father and son in the main pool, whilst mum and baby Renas were in the baby pool. Robin asked to go to see his mum and brother and along the way from one pool to the other, he got into difficulty. His parents said due to the "low lighting" and "barriers" they didn't immediately notice

Speaking to CornwallLive, Cemal, from Plymouth, said: "I want every parent to see this story, this can't happen again. We are suffering pain and we don't want any parents to have a similar feeling. We just wanted to share this to stop it happening again, to any other parents and any other children."
Describing little Robin, Cemal said he "loved hugs" and was a "very cute and clever" little boy. "He was intelligent and his handwriting, he could write with both hands," he said. Robin adored his baby brother Renas and "would love to put him on his legs and rock him".
