Sick kids from petting zoo climbs to 79; parent vows never to visit farm again

Posted: September 24th, 2009 - 10:21am by Doug Powell

Gemma Weaver, 24, of Bramley Close, has vowed to "never forgive the farm" after her three-year-old son, Alfie (right), suffered kidney failure following a visit to Godstone Farm.

“We are taking legal advice at the moment. I will never, ever be setting foot in a farm with my children again. Not just Godstone Farm but any farm."

Mrs Weaver said she still hadn't heard from (farm manager) Mr Oatway, who added,
 
“We will definitely be opening again. There are still ongoing investigations but we are sure we will open again."

Three more cases of E.coli linked to a children's petting farm have been confirmed - taking the number of people affected to 79.
