The teenager's loved ones have detailed how she has been subject to the abuse for more than a year, which has led to multiple meetings between school leaders, the girl's parents and her uncle, to whom she confessed the torment. Despite these meetings, the family pulled the youngster, from St Matthews, Leicester, out of the school due to a lack of care, which has seen the victim turn into a quiet, withdrawn and shy girl. Her family said they regularly find her crying in her sleep due to the way she was treated at the school and everything has had a lasting effect on the pupil and family. The girl's uncle, who has not been named, said he has attended a number of meetings in which he has been given no "real answers" or reassurance, before claiming that pupils were awarded Freddo chocolates in a bid to stop them from picking on his niece, which he said "disgusted" him. When he asked school leaders about this in a meeting he claimed they "tried to downplay it". Babington Academy said all reported incidents of bullying have been dealt with "in line with policy and procedure". The 38-year-old fumed: "I don't understand - is this how they deal with bullying?
