A 13-year-old schoolgirl was sent explicit messages and photos by 80 men she had never met in just one day after her Snapchat details were shared on adult forums as part of a campaign of bullying against her.
The family of Tina (not her real name) has accused Denton Community College in Tameside, Greater Manchester, of failing to support her after the teenager began to be bullied by up to 11 other pupils at the start of the year, which led her to develop anxiety, and being unable to sleep.
The abuse, which included threats to her life being made, as well as being ostracised at mealtimes, offensive name calling and body shaming, meant the Year 8 pupil felt isolated and unsafe attending school, and her mental health deteriorated, the Manchester Evening News reports.
