Girl to sue authority over school bullying

An education authority is suing her education authority for £20,000 compensation, alleging that she was bullied at school from the age of six. The girl, now 15, kept written details of 700 bullying incidents carried out by 32 pupils. She claims she suffers from panic attacks and depression as a result. She is suing for the psychological damage suffered. Her lawyer said that he has a further 30 clients ready to sue their local authorities over bullying.
