Red-headed family forced to move after 'ginger' hate campaign

A family are being forced out of their home by a gang of thugs because of their red hair.

Kevin and Barbara Chapman say they and their four young children have already moved twice to avoid the taunts but at each address have been subjected to attacks.



Their windows have been smashed, the walls daubed with graffiti and their children physically assaulted in the street by other youths.

In the latest incident the family returned to their third home in Newcastle upon Tyne to find the words "gingers are gay" painted on the outside of the property.



Even as the family, all of whom have red hair, discussed a move with social workers, their windows were smashed.

They are now waiting for the city council to find them yet another home.
