A 13-year-old schoolgirl was sent explicit messages and photos by dozens of strange men after her Snapchat details were shared on adult forums following months of bullying.

The family of Tina* has accused Denton Community College in Tameside of failing to support her after the teenager began to be bullied by up to 11 other pupils at the start of the year, which led her to develop anxiety, and being unable to sleep.

The abuse, which included threats to her life being made, as well as being ostracised at mealtimes, offensive name calling and body shaming, meant the Year 8 pupil felt isolated and unsafe attending school, and her mental health deteriorated.

Tina’s bullying ordeal culminated in her Snapchat handle being shared on adult forums without her knowledge, portraying her as a woman in her twenties who wanted to exchange sexual ‘chat’ and pictures.
