Tommy Lee Sparta’s frequent arrests are having a negative impact on his children.

Donna-Hue Anglin, the mother of two sons for the Gothic Dancehall artiste, says his boys age 17 and 14 are traumatised as their father is constantly being whisked away by lawmen.

“They are around their father every day so their question is ‘Mommy, where is daddy going?’ Over the past months, him have his boys them just at home bonding with him and they just took him like that,” said Anglin told the Jamaica Star. “Their father is their role model, them everything, them love him gone to bed. They are very close to him and are always around him so it is like they are just taking him away from them all the time.”

The Dancehall entertainer has been in lock-up at the Freeport Police Station in Montego Bay, St James, since Tuesday, July 7 as a person of interest. Tommy Lee Sparta, given name Leroy Russell, was requested to report to the station in relation to the upsurge in violence in the Flanker community of St James.

He is being detained under the current state of public emergency (SOE) in the parish. This means the Under Vibes deejay can be held for 90 days without being charged.

According to Anglin, the deejay’s recent lock-up has proven to be the most devastating to the children.

“They were even with him the day they took him, couple minutes before he went in I talk to my younger son and he said mommy they taking daddy away now and me have to a tell him say everything will be all right, he will come back later,” she continued.

Further to the mother’s concern, she pointed out that the event has taken a psychological toll on both her children, affecting their mental capacity.

“Just imagine how hard it is for me to watch my children being sad. The big one is going into adult world now and seeing all of this happening to his father, it traumatise him,” she continued.

“I feel like I owe it to his kids to get some answers for them because they are always asking me why is police always coming for daddy and I don’t have the answers to give them and it is just too much now. Them have him in lock-up for days now and every time him lawyer go down there, they are saying that the person who should come in and question him is not coming. I don’t know why this is happening to him,” Anglin added.
