Ask your parents to tell the police about what is happening by phoning or going to your nearest police station. They could also phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or the Commission for Racial Equality on 0131 524 2000.

6. My parents are splitting up.
Parents split up because they can’t fix the problems they have between them. It is important to remember that they will always love you and you are not the reason they split. Talk to your mum or dad if you are feeling sad or worried and they can make you feel better.
