British charity NSPCC said the number of children who are victims of hate crime has risen by 20 percent since 2016.

Children as young as 10 are using make-up to lighten their skin in order to avoid being racially abused at school, a charity has revealed.

“I’ve been bullied ever since I started school,” one 10-year-old girl said, the charity reports. “The bullies call me nasty names; it makes me feel so ashamed." The NSPCC said an 11-year-old Chinese girl has also attempted to use make-up to appear less Asian because of the bullying she has received. “Over the eight years that I’ve volunteered as a counselor it is just as heart-breaking every single time a child tells you they wish they looked different,” Childline counselor Atiyah Wazir said in a statement.

The charity revealed that toddlers and even babies less than one years old were among the hate crime victims.

Obama surprises kids at D.C. after-school program with pep talks and softball'I'm going to be on the lookout for you,' the former president told the kids at Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy. 'You're going to do something important. You're going to make a real difference.' The word “Statesman” used to have some meaning... agree or disagree at least I never had to question his intention. He was just trying to help others and the world. Thank you Mr. President. ❤️ Lord, I hope he didn't throw a ball in front of the kids. God forbid they learn to throw a ball like Obama.
