Girl 'beaten on school bus' as mum speaks out on spate of youth violence in Scotland
28.01.2023 - 08:05 / dailyrecord.co.uk
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.
Shocking footage shared with the Record shows the pupil being set upon by two other girls, suffering multiple blows to her head and body while other children filmed the violence on their phones. Police Scotland have since confirmed a 13-year-old girl was reported to the local youth offender manager group in connection with the incident.
Kaylynn was left with a bloodshot eye, a scratch to her eyeball, bruises on her face and had clumps of hair pulled out.
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.
She told the Record: "It's horrific, the level of violence is something I have not seen before. Something needs to be done about it, whatever stance there currently is against bullying is clearly not working - it's not just happening in Fife, it's obviously happening across the whole of Scotland.
"The name-calling and fat shaming got to a point where Kaylynn snapped and said something awful to one of the other girls - which I completely condemn and do not condone - but it does not warrant this violence. What Kaylynn said was not acceptable and I will never defend it, we punished her for it, but it came after weeks of being fat shamed."
