Many fear for their own safety and lives as well as the wider community. This situation must not be allowed to continue.
The violence and racist abuse that has taken place this week is unacceptable and has no place in Scotland.
Thank you for shining a light on an issue affecting so many single parent families.
At One Parent Families Scotland we are heartbroken and deeply concerned by the outbursts of racist disorder, violence and threats this week. Families are being cut off from the essential support they need as many parents are telling us they are afraid to travel.
