The case of Abbie Jarvis will make shocking reading to any right-minded person.
The innocent 12-year-old was allegedly attacked by another girl while a group of youths watched and filmed the incident on their phones. Abbie, who has autism, thought she was going to meet a friend in a local park in north Glasgow.
The reported ordeal saw her punched several times in the face and knocked to the ground. She spent two days in hospital as a result. Her brave mum Angela is right to speak out and condemn such senseless violence.
