A picture of a five year old girl from Northern Ireland with an anti-Catholic slogan painted on her forehead is being looked into by police.
The image shows the young girl posing with the sectarian slogan on her head in face paints.
It's thought the picture was taken during twelfth of July celebrations in the country.
It's been widely condemned and now the police have opened an investigation.
A spokesman for The Police Service of Northern Ireland said enquiries were ongoing.
He told Premier: "Police have received a report, enquiries will be carried out to establish if any offences have been committed."

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
