“WE NEED HELP!”

That is the cry from Alvin Taitt, the father who rescued three of his children from an abusive home in Barbados last year and took them to England where he lives.

He is appealing for financial assistance as he seeks to formalise their British immigration status.

Taitt dominated local headlines after he flew to Barbados last July to rescue his children. He acted after receiving a telephone call telling him that his 15-year-old daughter had hatched a plan to run away from home with her 13-year-old brother and 11-year-old sister or kill herself.

The children were victims of abuse. A man has since been charged with statutory rape in relation to the 15-year-old.
