A 13-year-old Glasgow girl has been recognised for her bravery after she was viciously attacked.
Abbie Jarvis was announced as the Unsung Hero award winner for her fight against youth violence after she was brutally beaten and left seriously injured. The schoolgirl was lured to a Drumchapel skatepark and set upon by another girl as others filmed the incident on their phones, in October last year.
‘Abbie’s petition’, launched by the schoolgirl and her mum, Angela, aims to see bullying interventions put in place in schools, social care facilities and on the streets to prevent violent acts.
