Thieves target UK baby’s grave twice

Thieves waited for a young British mother to place teddy bears on her baby’s grave, waited for her to leave, then went inside and stole the three teddies a few months ago. The grave was targeted again this week, when more teddies were snatched.

Charlotte Revatto, 19, said she was appalled by the theft and is considering moving her son’s body to a “safer”place.

The mother, who lives in the North Welsh town of Rhyl, said the grave of her baby Lweis-Lee, who died 21 weeks after he was born, was vandalized and robbed in November, adding that thieves stamped over the baby’s grave, three the flowers about and “even dug a hole at the plot.”

“It’s horrible….I think it’s disgusting. I want to move him to another cemetery somewhere where he will be safe…I don’t know where we would move him because Rhyl Cemetery is almost full,” she told Rhyl Journal newspaper.

The paper said that Revatto and her 21-year-old boyfriend Paul Grocott, visited the grave last Friday to mark their dead baby’s first birthday but discovered that three teddies have gone again. She said the teddies were fixed into ground so there is no way they could have blown away.

“I just want whoever is doing this to stop,” she told the paper, which said North Wales police have launched an investigation into the incidents.
