Her parents beat her up for having a black boyfriend

• Parents sought out daughter's black boyfriend and screamed a torrent of racist abuse so vile that police were called
• David Champion punched his daughter in the face several times, while her mother Frances watched before landing her own blow
• Now the young couple are living together in a flat in Swansea while they study at university
• Mr Champion told Jane that she had brought 'shame to the family' while he beat her

Trips to the beautiful Gower peninsula and the annual family holiday to Spain punctuate Jane Champion's many happy memories of her childhood.
Hers was the kind of family who sat down to meals together. Her parents were hard-working people who encouraged their children to do well at school.
Today that once-happy family has been smashed to smithereens as Jane still struggles to come to terms with the night her parents carried out a vicious physical assault on her.

David Champion punched his daughter, now 18, in the face several times, while her mother Frances watched before landing her own blow.
The reason for this brutality? They didn't like the colour of her boyfriend's skin — a fact they made abundantly clear when they sought him out and screamed a torrent of racist abuse so vile that police were called.
It is hard to imagine more shocking parental behaviour. This week David, 50 was sentenced to a year in prison and his 47-year-old wife to nine months for assault and racial abuse, leaving their youngest daughter, 13, to be looked after by her maternal grandmother and their eldest daughter racked with guilt at the way her mixed-race relationship has torn the family apart.
