'Don't just stand back and record the bullies, get help'

A mum whose daughter was attacked on a school bus urges young people not to take out their phones and take videos.

Vicky Donald's daughter Kaylynn's assault in Fife last year was filmed and widely shared on social media.

In the aftermath, Kaylynn, 13, got so fed up with seeing the attack video being shared online she handed her phone back to her parents for months.

Mrs Donald said social media was fuelling the school violence problem and issued a plea to youngsters not to just stand back and record, but to stand up and make a difference by getting help.
