Little Scots girl called 'monkey girl' by pupils removed from school by desperate gran
15.06.2022 - 10:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A desperate Scots gran has been forced to remove her eight-year-old granddaughter from school after she was allegedly subject to vile racist slurs.
May McWilliams is desperately fighting to get Rio Brown into a different school after she reported being called ‘monkey girl’ and ‘chocolate girl’ by youngsters at Elderbank Primary in Irvine.
The eight-year-old, who lives with her gran after her mum sadly died in 2019, also told her granny she was slapped and kicked by other children before May formally withdrew her from her p3 class.
May said her first complaint - made after Rio was allegedly slapped across the face in the school dining room - was ignored by staff.
And while they initially tried to ‘weather the storm’, they both reached breaking point after the abuse allegedly became racist.
May explained: “When the bullying first started, I did try to hold back and see if we could weather the storm because we were dealing with a lot at home.
“Rio’s grandad and my husband Robert had just died and she had been helping me nurse him at home. She’d go in every day and give him a kiss or a cuddle.
"But Rio said the pupils were pushing her, shoving her and grabbing her by the arm and that a girl slapped her across the face twice in the dining hall.
“Then they were calling her racist names like ‘chocolate girl’ and ‘monkey girl' and asking her inappropriate questions.
“I raised it with the school and they said they would look into it, but I never heard a word back.
“I decided that I couldn’t keep sending this child into the lion’s den because she felt unsafe."
May believes Rio’s mum, Sarah, died in tragic circumstances at the age of 37 after she too was affected by severe bullying as a youngster.
