A 13 YEAR OLD girl who was filmed being kicked and ambushed at a school has spoken out amid warnings that a ‘child will lose their life’ if similar attacks continue.
The girl was filmed being attacked at a high school in Rochdale on Friday, March 31. The clip was then widely shared on social media.
It appeared to show at least a dozen children surrounding her as she was dragged to the ground by her hair and kicked in the head.
The victim has now spoken to Sky News about what happened to her, describing how she found out on social media that there was an attack planned.
Her half-brother also said he believed the attack was carried out just to be filmed, amid the ‘increasingly popular but sickening trend’ of videoed fights.
