Petition Stop deportation of children who could be raped

A DAD is fighting to stop his children from being deported from Burnley to South Africa.

Justin Tutt, 29, fears his children Seth, eight, and Leigh, five, could be ‘raped or killed’ if they are sent back to their native country where they will be put into care.

He brought them over from Kimberley where they were living with their grandparents in a residential home after their mother Deirdre committed suicide last May.

Mr Tutt was told by a social worker in South Africa that if they get put into care they could be raped or killed because one in five white children in care are. No parent in their right mind would let their children be taken away and placed in danger.

Mr Tutt says that he has not only faced an enormous struggle trying to get his children back from South Africa, having spent more than £5,000 and is now heavily in debt because of the cost of legal fees and flights.

Their holiday visa runs out on March 21 2013.
