The mum of 13-year-old Hope Lyden has spoken out after her daughter was violently attacked and left unconscious in a field, in what’s being called another shocking example of Scotland’s growing youth violence crisis.
Hope had agreed to meet a friend at Boden Boo in Erskine last Friday night. While waiting at a bus stop, she was suddenly approached by a girl she didn’t know who accused her of talking about her. Things quickly escalated when another teen, also unknown to Hope, pretended to help her get away—only to lead her into a trap, reported the Daily Record.
