Parents will be shocked by yet another gang attack on a child filmed and posted on social media. We reported last month on concerns over the trend of this particularly nasty form of bullying by other youths.
The latest victim had been picked on at school, verbally abused and had food thrown at him for months. And now he has suffered a vicious attack at the hands of fellow pupils.
What he has gone through is deplorable and those responsible should be ashamed of themselves. The impact on the boy will be far greater than bruises and scrapes which will fortunately heal in time.
