forced to move http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/tyne/6714735.stm
Excerpt:
"A Newcastle family claim they have been forced from two homes by thugs who have targeted them over their ginger hair.
Kevin and Barbara Chapman say they and their four children, aged between 10 and 13, have endured years of taunts, smashed windows and violence.
They said they moved from Walker to Newbiggin Hall to try to escape the bullying, and then again to Kenton Bar.
Son Kevin, 11, said he was recently punched in a street attack. Newcastle Council is "discussing the situation".
Mr Chapman, 49, said his 10-year-old daughter Ryelle and sons Daniel, 10, and Jordan, 13, have also been badly affected.
He said each time the family received abuse they moved home.
The family also say they have endured their homes being daubed in graffiti."
We had similar experiences in Australia durng late 80 and early 90's; called 'black dogs' , 'go back to your country' on the streets and 'black c..ts' written in front of our house. Some academics advised how to remove the graffitti. We moved house.
