RTE Liveline listeners were left horrified on Thursday afternoon as a letter was read out on air from a young boy studying in the Gaeltacht.
He penned the note to his mum and dad begging to come home and detailing the bullying he was being subjected to by other young boys.
His father Andrew, heartbroken by the sheer cruelty his child has had to face, allowed the letter to be read out by Joe Duffy.
