Tanith Bavaird was just 15 years old when she was surrounded and subjected to a sickening attack by a dozen teens and pre-teens after leaving a recording session to enjoy a break in the sun.
The mum of an East Kilbride schoolgirl who was left needing hospital attention following an unprovoked attack has launched a support group for other parents who've been targeted by the gang.

"Children are terrified to leave their houses and parents don't want to let them out because they can appear from anywhere. There is no reason behind the attacks, they just pick on random girls in the town, at bus stops, in school and anywhere they can get them. "Something has got to change and that is only going to happen if we all come together - that's why I launched the group. Children should feel safe to go about their lives but instead intelligent girls like my daughter are being tormented and feel they can't even go to schools or do their exams because of these girls.Tanith had to undergo counselling following the attack which came as she was dealing with the death of her gran from cancer just weeks before.
