Both boys died in an alleged hit and run accident in Australia on January 5. “Just the way he grabbed my hand I knew . Shane and Sheldon couldn’t be saved. I remember begging them to please just let me go. I didn t want to wake up, I wanted to be with them,” she said. Frail has chosen to speak about her boys death in the hope it will serve as a warning to other drivers to not make dangerous, split-second decisions behind the wheel.

The final resting places of two brothers killed in a horror crash will likely be decided by a court, with the tragedy furthering an already ugly divide between their parents.
It has been almost two weeks since Sheldon, 6, and Shane Shorey, 7, were allegedly killed by unlicensed driver Jacob Steven Donn, 25, at Wellington, in NSW, on January 5.
But the funerals for the two brothers have been delayed because their father Joseph Shorey and mum Shayleen Frail are unable to agree on where, or even if, they should be buried.
Ms Frail - who was with her sons when they died - wants them to be buried close to her in Wellington.
