Deraye Lewis was a handsome young boy of 3 when he died a slow and painful death at the hands of his
mothers boyfriend, Nicholas Halling.
Deraye lived in Dunstable, Milton Keynes with his mother, Donna Humphrey, and her boyfriend,
Nicholas Halling.
Deraye was racially abused and repeatedly beaten and burnt with cigarettes by Halling. On the eve
of new year 2005 Donna Humprey called the police over an assalt allegation against Halling (which
she later withdrew). The police noticed on arrival that Deraye had been crying but could see no
obvious injuries so they left unaware of the previous history of Deraye, Donna and Hallings.
Deraye spent the rest of the day complaining of stomach ache and being sick and neighbours heard
Halling shout: "That f****** baby is spoiling my life. We can't do anything without him spoiling
things."
Hours later, on New Year's Day morning 2005, Donna woke up to find the Deraye dying in bed beside
her.
Deraye was taken to Milton Keynes hospital where he died later that day.
More than 73 injuries were found on his tiny body. His bowel had been ruptured, his eardrum
perforated, the surface of his brain bruised and his skin burned with cigarettes.
Social workers in Bedfordshire were tipped off that Halling was abusing Deraye some six months
before he was brutally murdered.
Mistake number one came when they, social services, failed to pick up the signs of Halling's racist
attacks, which included stubbing out cigarettes on the little Deraye's body and calling him racist
names. Instead they believed the cover-up stories from terrified mum Donna, even when, according to
sources, she presented herself "black and blue" with bruises from Halling's attacks on her. Three
months before Deraye's death, Donna finally admitted Halling was beating her and fled to safety in
Milton Keynes.
Mistake number two came when Bedfordshire social services omitted to pass the information on to
Milton Keynes social services, though they stated clearly on her emergency housing application that
she was 'fleeing domestic violence'.
This led to mistake number three – when Milton Keynes housing department failed to inform their
own colleagues in social services that they had moved a vulnerable mum and child into a house in
Bletchley's Osborne Street. Thus when Deraye's mother Donna rekindled the relationship with
Halling, not one official noticed.
It should also be noted that Halling was under the supervision of a probation officer at the time
and had convictions dating back to when he was aged 11.
Please all spare a thought for little Deraye who died an appalling death at the hands of a bullying
racist. Deraye's death could have been avoided if only Social Services had communicated with each
other in the appropriate manner.
Rest in peace Deraye your are safe from harm now high up in the sky with all of gods special
angels.
Please if you feel that there needs to be a reform in Social Services sign this petition and show
that you are the voice for Deraye and all the other children that are failed by the current system.

Today there will be silence mum,
no crying will you hear.
I didn't mean to anger you,
I just wanted you near.
Today there will be sleep again,
I won't cry out in vain.
The nights I needed comforting,
were filled with hurt and pain.
How could someone so big and strong,
strike out at little me?
I was a gift, your handsome little boy,
unwanted now, I see.
Today there will be love at last,
l on angels wings I'll soar.
Way up high, above the clouds,
through heavens golden doors.
So mummy, say a prayer for me,
for the life I'll never know.
I just wish you could have cared for me,
for I would have loved you so..

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there
Thank you for all your support
love allways debbie xxx
So very very sad. Sweet dreams little angel xxx
Where little babies go xxx
Fluffy clouds of pink and blue
Where fairytales and dreams come true
Where teddy bears put on shows
In the place where little babies go.
Where a choir of angels sing on high
A peaceful, soothing lullaby
And their feathers flutter down like snow
In the place where little babies go.
Where the sun is shining everyday
In a heavenly sky that’s never grey
Where love will bloom and always grow
In the place where little babies go.
Where bells will ring and hearts they soar
When a mum and dad walk through its door
Then only tears of joy will flow
In the place where little babies go.
