MICK Philpott's sister has said her family are regularly taunted and abused because they share the same name as the killer dad.
Charmaine Philpott said she hopes the 56-year-old dies in prison.
The 48-year-old said: "I went to the doctors recently and, when my name was called out, someone shouted 'scum'.
"Others have said it as I've walked past. It's devastating."
In an interview with The Sun, she said: "I want to turn round and say 'Don't dare blame me for something my brother did!' but I just walk away in tears.
"They call us names, they taunt us and it's not fair."
She now wants to distance herself from her brother, who was jailed for life for the manslaughter of his six children in a fire at his Allenton home, and doesn't want the rest of her family being compared to him.
She said: "Don't you think we've suffered enough? I want to walk down the street with my head held high but it's difficult. My mum and my dad gave me my name. They're good people. I have always and will always be a Philpott."
Father of 17 Philpott was sentenced earlier this month for the manslaughter of his daughter Jade, ten, and her brothers John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, Jayden, five, and 13-year-old Duwayne. His wife Mairead, 32, and friend Paul Mosley, 46, were sentenced to 17 years for their part in the fire.
Charmaine, who lives in Derby, said: "He's no longer part of our family. You have every reason to hate my brother. I do, and so does the rest of my family. We're desperately trying to move on and want to blank out what has happened but we just can't. More than anything my heart goes out to my mum."
Peggy Philpott worked at Rolls-Royce until she was 70.
Charmaine, the youngest of Mrs Philpott's eight children, said: "She's gutted and I don't think she will ever recover. The stress of it has made her ill and, although she was always a strong woman, I think it will end up killing her.
"Our poor mum cries her heart out every day for her lost grandchildren. She is 86 and just can't understand why it happened."
When the Derby Telegraph interviewed Mrs Philpott after her son had been jailed, she said things had been hard. She said: "It has been bad, really bad. I hardly go out any more."
Charmaine doesn't feel any sympathy for Mairead, either. She said: "She carried those six babies, bore them and nurtured them. She's as wicked as he is."
