Sarah McNeill said her eight-year-old daughter daughter Cleo Mukolwe has been subjected to cruel bullying over her appearance
The mum of a little girl who hacked off her hair after suffering sickening racist abuse has begged for parents to educate kids on the damage caused by hateful slurs.
"She asked him to leave her alone but he started following her. He began to shout at her and called her the N-word, a b**** and mocked her 'bomb site' hair. Sarah called the police out to the family's home to report the incident, but officers said they were unable to take any action because the boy involved is under the age of criminal responsibility.
"Cleo has been racially abused, relentlessly, since she started school. Examples of this include kids in her class talking about a birthday party and when Cleo asked if she could go, the boy told her they weren't allowed 'brown people' in their home. In 2018, we also reported that schoolboy Tiliai Nakau, from Edinburgh, endured a horrendous barrage of racist abuse and violence from fellow kids as young as five.
"Another time, just a few months ago, one child told her she looked like a 'burnt chicken nugget'. She has constantly been made fun of for having an afro and one kid in her neighbourhood only ever refers to her as 'the black girl'. She added: "I have been left feeling so anxious for Cleo now. Every time she goes outside, I am worried that someone will abuse her."
