British charity NSPCC said the number of children who are victims of hate crime has risen by 20 percent since 2016.
Children as young as 10 are using make-up to lighten their skin in order to avoid being racially abused at school, a charity has revealed.
“I’ve been bullied ever since I started school,” one 10-year-old girl said, the charity reports. “The bullies call me nasty names; it makes me feel so ashamed." The NSPCC said an 11-year-old Chinese girl has also attempted to use make-up to appear less Asian because of the bullying she has received. “Over the eight years that I’ve volunteered as a counselor it is just as heart-breaking every single time a child tells you they wish they looked different,” Childline counselor Atiyah Wazir said in a statement.
The charity revealed that toddlers and even babies less than one years old were among the hate crime victims.
