麻豆约拍

Twelve-year-old Alfie Coleiro, from the UK, was sent anonymous messages abusing him for having red hair. The bullies targeted him on Instagram, PlayStation and his phone. They went so far as to tell him that he shouldn't have been born.

Alfie responded with a poem, telling the bullies they'd made him cry and feel that not even his home was a safe place. His dad posted it on Facebook and it's been shared hundreds of times, with many offering support.

Speaking to OS, Alfie said he did not think something like this would hit him at the age of 12.
