Kicked in the face for being GINGER: Shocking video from secondary school shows young girl beaten by playground bullies
Shocking footage of a schoolgirl being repeatedly kicked in the face by playground bullies 'because she was ginger' has appeared on the internet.
The schoolgirl had to be taken to hospital after being dragged to the floor by her hair and kicked in the face four times by playground bullies.
Footage of the brutal assault - which appeared on video site YouTube just hours after it happened - shows a crowd of pupils at The Deanes School in Thundersley, Essex, encouraging the bullies to attack.
During the assault children can be heard goading the bullies with one boy screaming 'Let her have it' as the young girl is thrown to the floor by her hair.
The disturbing footage - recorded on a mobile phone camera by a fellow pupil, then shows one attacker brutally kicking the girl in the face.
The appalling attack comes just days after leading child abuse campaigner Shy Keenan claimed her 14-year-old son, Ayden, had been 'bullied to death' after he was tragically found dead at their family home in nearby Colchester, Essex.
