child abuse is a crime in the UK.
I would also disagree with the person who posted that racial abuse would not be pyschologically damaging to a child that is only two.
In terms of racism not being a crime - the crime in question isnt that the woman uses offensive racial slurs - it is that she is racially abusing a 2 year old child left in her care.
