The footage allegedly shows a three-year-old girl being subjected to physical and verbal abuse as she tries to play two older black schoolgirls.
A shocking video appearing to show a white toddler being racially bullied by three black children has sparked outrage after it was posted on Facebook.
The heartbreaking footage allegedly shows a three-year-old girl being subjected to physical and verbal abuse as she tries to play two older girls, encouraged off camera by an older boy who filmed the incident.
The clip was uploaded online by the 12-year-old boy, where it has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people.
After the video emerged and the families were identified, the father of the suspected bullies, named as Eddie, was contacted by angry parents and viewers.
The father of the blonde toddler only became aware of the alleged bullying after Eddie saw the footage and contacted him to apologise.
“I wasn't happy with the video, obviously,” the toddler's father Shawn Peterson told FOX 9. “I am disgusted with it.'
However he says he does not blame neighbour Eddie and trusts him to do the right thing.
"He's taking care of it. Trust me. He's a good father and everything like that, so I'm not worried about what he's doing over there."
Answering claims that the bullying was racially motivated, Eddie said: "I honestly don't know where it comes from. We don't teach that in our household. We're not racist, none of that."
Both parents say that viewers have blown the footage out of proportion and that the children usually play together and get along well.
The 12-year-old boy has also been punished for his part in the episode.
"He's punished and getting dealt with," Eddie insisted. "Internet, everything - privileges taken away. We're dealing with it as a family."
