Responding to reports in today’s Daily Record of an incident involving an attack on a 13 year old boy in Fort William, Highlands and Islands MSP Jamie Halcro Johnston said:
“This is yet another sickening incident of bullying in our schools. All those involved in this appalling attack should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
“It is heart-breaking to imagine the pain and fear this child has been put through, only being made worse by his suffering being shared for sick entertainment.
“Parents must be able to send their children to school confident that they will be safe and able to enjoy their time there. And, when parents have concerns, as it appears they had in this case, and raised with the school, those concerns must speedily and properly acted on”.
