Her bully was given a police warning for threatening to go the primary and hunt her down
An 11-year-old girl who has suffered horrendous bullying has been denied a school placing request despite previously being allegedly threatened with a knife.
The following month, the girl's family got a call from the school to come and collect her after the same bully was given a police warning for threatening to go the primary and hunt her down. Officers even said that the P7 pupil shouldn't go out to play in the street, which her family felt was an unfair suggestion given that she is the victim.
Despite explaining their bullying concerns, the family received a general response which didn’t address the child’s 'individual needs', according to a councillor. Councillor Dempsey called for a more personalised approach for letters sent to parents during placing requests and for individual needs to be prioritised throughout the process. She said she has been told the communication is the responsibility of the Scottish Government and believes it is not in line with Holyrood’s commitment to Getting it right for every child .
Councillor Dempsey said that such a statement in reference to a child is “alarming for parents to read” and the wording is a “disgrace.” She added that the child looking to go to St Roch’s “doesn’t get into bother and keeps herself to herself” and was receiving top marks before the bullying started.
