For three hours, his parents begged him to stop. Even the mayor of his town promised him a cell phone at the municipality’s expense.
At one point, the teenager’s father thought he could grab his son’s arm and pull him back. The young man resisted, and both fell off the cliff. His mother couldn’t bear the pain, and seconds later, she fell as well.
