The mother of a teenager who wrote an open letter to her school accusing it of being "rife" with bigotry and misconduct accused the local council of failing youngsters, after it dismissed claims of a toxic environment for pupils.
Kristie De Garis says her daughter Anna has been left "devastated, exhausted and feeling incredibly let down" after bosses at Perth and Kinross Council concluded there was "no prevailing culture of bullying or harassment" at Crieff High.
She added that her daughter had been branded a "liar" by classmates after the report was released.
