The terrified parent says she has been reduced to tears following several incidents at her daughter's primary school.
A terrified Scots parent has spoken out about the shocking injuries her young daughter has suffered at the hands of school bullies.
The woman said: "My daughter says she was strangled in the playground on multiple occasions, had her hair pulled and cut out and came home with cuts on her face. She is not safe and there is no real concern for her safety. The worried mum said that her daughter has been through a year of "hell" but she is not aware of any incidents since September 2022. However, the way each incident was dealt with still causes her concern.
"I know teachers can't prevent incidents such as these happening, but it's just the way it has been dealt with that's wrong. The teacher's excuse was the fact she's a sensitive child, but what's that got to do with anything." As a result of the constant bullying and aggressive behaviour, the mum decided to withdraw her daughter from the school for two months to allow her to physically and emotionally recover.
"I have even considered moving her to a different school, but it's not that easy. She would leave behind her friends, after school club and we'd have to drive further to drop off and collect her. I just want this to be resolved." Since being contacted by EdinburghLive, Midlothian Council stated the authority takes bullying allegations "extremely seriously" and will continue to engage with the girl's parents following their concerns.
