What happened on March 4th?
A girl needed hospital treatment after she was attacked by a group of youths at Cabot Circus. The attack was filmed. The girl’s father said she was so traumatized by the incident that she did not go to school. He also called the video of his daughter’s attack “disgusting.”The girl’s father, who we will call Phil to protect the family’s identity, told the BBC she was “disappointed” witnesses did not intervene.“She was seen walking around Cabot with, you know, 25 people following her,” Phil said.“They followed her for 25 minutes…no one wanted to help. No one wanted to say, are you safe?”Video of the attack was widely circulated on social media and is thought to be linked to a recent trend of encouraging students to fight each other.
