FORT WORTH – A Hispanic family in Benbrook has temporarily abandoned its home after it was vandalized and racist slurs were spray-painted on the family car.

Sofía Bara said the someone tried to break into the home a week ago through her 10-year-old granddaughter's bedroom and that the vandals painted the words "White Power" and a racial epithet on the family's Isuzu Stylus. The vandals also destroyed a trampoline in the back yard.

Gwen Gray, one of the family's neighbors on Bucking Bronc Drive, said she thinks the vandalism is a prank and hopes the family stays in the neighborhood, which she called multiethnic and nonviolent.
