A terrified mum-of-five told how her family are living in fear after racists sprayed vile death threats on their home.
She heartbreakingly revealed that the nightmare attack prompted her children to ask: "Is someone going to hurt us?"
Despicable graffiti, including 'p*** scum out', 'dead', and 'ISIS out', along with the St George's cross, appeared on an outside wall, window, door, back gate and paving slab at the family home in Birmingham on Monday.
The 33-year-old mum, who asked not to be named, says her family is now sleeping in one room in an attempt to feel safe.
But she said it's scary not knowing who is behind the disgraceful attack, for what reason or what the offenders will do next.

Vandals also threw dog excrement at her door and it has been repeatedly kicked loudly in the middle of the night.
Her waste bin also ended up in a local canal.
The graffiti is all over the homeShe has reported the sinister abuse to police and has asked Birmingham City Council to remove the graffiti.
The brave mum told Birmingham Live she has had nothing but trouble since they moved in during November 2021.
"I lived at my previous property for many years without any problems. Someone graffitied the back of the house with death threats and racial abuse.
"I have had my bin chucked Into the canal, door gets kicked regularly and loudly in the middle of the night on different days. I get racial abuse. I've had dog poo thrown at my door now to start the new year.
"I'm quite scared as I am being racially targeted and fear for my family safety. I've been a Birmingham city council tenant for 14 years this is the first time in my life I have experienced something like this.
"It's absolutely shocking. I don't feel like I can live here anymore or make this place my happy home for me and my children.
"I'm currently sleeping in one room with my family as I don't know if someone is going break in and hurt me or my family. It's a really horrible feeling.
"I'm a mother of five children - the youngest being eight, oldest being 14 - they are all terrified and ask me daily - 'Is someone going to hurt us?' I wish the council could do more or the local authority as it's scary not knowing who has done this, why and what will they do next."
