A young Scots family have been left 'disgusted' after vandals 'no older than 11 years old' wrote sick messages on their car.
'Kill yourself', 'die' and 'f**k you' were found emblazoned across Ewan McBride's white Vauxhall Corsa in lipstick on the evening of Friday, May
The vandalism took place outside the home the 22-year-old tyre fitter shares with his girlfriend, Louise Reid, and their baby daughter Ella in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire.
Louise, 20, claims a pair of young girls were responsible for the shocking messages.
Louise told the Record: "I was upstairs packing for our family holiday to Blackpool the next day when I noticed red marks across Ewan's car.
"I bolted downstairs, opened the door and saw two people with their hoods up near the car.
"I saw the messages and was disgusted, how could people write this on a car? I clocked the people who turned round and I was shocked to see girls no older than 11.
"I asked 'was that you?' and they both ran for it, I just knew it would be them."
The nature of the hateful messages is what stung the most for new mum Louise, who branded them 'so disgusting'.
It came as the family got ready to take a trip down to Blackpool.
Thankfully the vile graffiti was able to be washed off, but Louise says the holiday would have been ruined if it couldn't as it was their only way of travelling down south.
While the 'shocked' hairdresser didn't report the incident to police she is speaking out in the hope the vandals' parents 'realise what their kids are doing'.
She added: "If the parents read this story they need to have a word with their kids.
"It's such a horrible thing to do.
"How do wee girls that age know words like that? It's terrible.
"Thankfully we're okay but what if the victim was someone really struggling mentally.
"That could be enough for them to take their own life.
"These young girls don't realise how serious their actions can me, while they think it's a great laugh."
She said: "We definitely could not gone on holiday driving a car like that down to Blackpool.
"That was our only way of getting down, the holiday would have been ruined.
"But that's not the point.
"If the parents read this story they need to have a word with their kids.
"It's such a horrible thing to do."
