READING the racial hatred meted out to those folks in Worcester, especially to children of the couple, leaves me sick in the stomach.

If the authorities cannot deal with the perpetrators as they are underage, then the parents of those children should be held responsible.

My heart goes out to any human who cannot live in peace because of a different ethnic background. Somebody needs to do something to stop this crime.
