My 11 year old DD racially abused on way home from school

Yesterday on her way home from school while walking across a car park ,she was rounded on by some older boys and called a Paki repeatedly.IBumped into her on the way home and she was crying.
I gave her loads of hugs and told her the usual spiel about how these people are stupid and ignorant and to be pitied,but I feel just so outraged and hurt on her behalf.
This happened to me growing up and I thought we had moved on.
I'm gutted that I can't protect her from this.She has been called the odd name at school before and it has always been sorted out,but somehow it is worse when you are on your own and just walking along the street.

So sorry this happened to you and your daughter. Please
Don't beat yourself up about crying with her, I would be exactly the same. Huge hugs

please be assured that every single person who has commented that this is awful truly means it and we do not bring our children up to be inconsiderate racist little sods.

So sorry this has happened. You should def report it if your DD feels up to it. For future reference, this is considered a hate crime and police forces have specific procedures and reporting mechanisms for this. They absolutley won't think she is wasting their time.

Give her a hug from me.
