90 MINUTES

How long it took for little Orla, 8, whose life is being made hell by bullies, to be targeted in class again after reluctantly going back to her lessons

A LITTLE girl whose life is being made hell by bullies returned to school - and lasted just 90 minutes before being assaulted in the classroom.

Orla Cameron told yesterday how she would rather do nothing in life than go back to the school where she has been bullied for two years.

The horrific incidents escalated until she was attacked by four boys two weeks ago.

She was knocked to the ground and then punched, kicked and had her hair pulled.

When they ran towards her in the playground a few days later Orla jumped the fence and ran home and had refused to go back to school. Her mum Rachel McLauchlan, 30, feared for her mental health and kept her at home but was furious that the gang were continuing with their education while Orla was not able to do so.

Orla, eight, from Musselburgh, attends Campie Primary School in the East Lothian town.
