Children as young as 10 are whitening their faces to avoid being subjected to racist abuse in Britain, a child protection group has warned, as police struggle to stem a rising tide of hate crimes against minors.
A total of 10,571 racially-motivated hate crimes against children -- an average of 29 a day -- were recorded by police in 2017-18, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children found. Toddlers and even babies were among those targeted.That number is now a fifth higher than it was just three years ago, and is growing at a rate of about 1,000 new crimes a year.
A total of 71,251 were recorded in England and Wales in 2017-18, a 14% increase compared to the previous year. Hate crimes based on victims' sexual and gender orientations, religion and disabilities are all rising rapidly as well, but race-based attacks still constitute the majority of hate crimes -- with an average of eight such crimes reported an hour. .m-infographic--1539693942643 { background: url no-repeat 0 0 transparent; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-top: 133.
