(Kent, England) Last weekend, 38-year-old and married Andrew Hopper met with his mistress, Paula Anderson, 38, by the sea in Folkstone, Kent, while also babysitting his two young children, Rebecca, 2, and Lewis, 8 months, strapped together in a baby buggy. As Hopper put his arms around Anderson in a big smooch, he let go of the baby buggy which then rolled off the ocean wall to plunge 15 feet into icy saltwater.
Hopper and Anderson dived into the sea to unstrap the youngsters and rescue them. Six passers-by assisted. Sadly, only eight-month-old Lewis survived. Two-year-old Rebecca drowned.
It's not clear whether a criminal complaint has been filed. In the U.S., there would be the real possibility of a felony child abuse charge being initiated. However, those Brits directly involved and close to the tragedy appear to be just trying to put the episode behind them.
Given that the little girl's death can be attributed to an incident of infidelity on the part of Mr. Hopper and Mrs. Anderson -- yes, she's also married -- one might suspect that the Hopper and Anderson marriages would be stressed. Apparently, that's not the situation at all.
The mother of a drowned two-year-old girl is standing by her husband despite discovering that he was said to be kissing his mistress when the child's pushchair rolled into the sea.Curious, eh?
Sarah and Andrew Hopper are 'united' in the wake of revelations that apparently he let go of their children's buggy to embrace his married lover, family friends told the Mail.
A friend who spent Wednesday evening with the pair said: 'They were together at the pub run by Sarah's parents all night. They are putting a brave face on it, for now at least.
'It's been a horrible tragedy but if there's any animosity between them, they don't show it. They seem united. Their dedication to their family is admirable.'
