A FACEBOOK group has been blasted as "sick and vile" for making fun of murdered children, like Paige Doherty, as part of a quiz.
The page Savage Banter Casuals posted a picture of the England football squad with images of murdered or missing children covering the players faces.
Youngsters such as 15-year-old Paige, Kriss Donald and Madeline McCann were featured in the image, which was captioned: "Sunday night quiz, name the full 11".
