Shocking footage shared with the Record shows the pupil being set upon by two other girls
The mum of a schoolgirl who was allegedly beaten on a school bus has spoken out against a spate of horrific attacks among youths in Scotland. Kaylynn Donald, 12, is receiving therapy for an alleged beating which took place during a journey on her way home from class at Bell Baxter High School in Ladybank, Fife, on October 25.
Kaylynn's mum, Vicky, says her daughter had been on the receiving end of horrific taunts - including name-calling and fat shaming - for weeks prior to the alleged assault. Vicky, 36, is speaking out against the violence after the Record reported a series of horrific attacks among teenagers in recent months.
While her injuries have healed, her mum fears the verbal abuse will have a long-lasting psychological impact on her daughter. Kaylynn's counselling is focused on restoring a healthy relationship with her body and food, as her mum says she has been skipping meals. "I will not wear certain clothes purely because I still see myself the way they saw me, I don't want my daughter to ever go through the same thing."
It comes after the Record reported on a concerning series of assaults among teenagers in recent months. On Monday, the uncle of a 13-year-old boy in Fort William warned that a child may die before the issue is stamped out. She still hasn't been able to return to school. The Daily Record approached Police Scotland and Fife Council for comment.
