£20,000 for bullying at school

A woman who sued her council over bullying when she was at primary school has won £20,000. The woman, who is now 23, was bullied from the age of four to 11. The money was paid in a settlement by the council which denied liability. The bullying included taunts and physical violence. The woman reportedly attempted suicide at age 9, and was taken out of mainstream schooling at 14 after being diagnosed with depression.
