Paige McKeown was targeted by a Rosshall Secondary pupil while on her break, and a video of the assault has circulated online. Her mum worries about the long-term effect the incident will have on the 14-year-old.

Paige McKeown, who has autism, was targeted by another Rosshall Secondary pupil whilst on her break on Tuesday morning, February 6.

The 40-year-old told Glasgow Live: "Paige phoned me in hysterics after the girl stopped punching her. She was asking if she could come home."I drove down and went straight into the office and asked to collect my daughter because she had been attacked. She added: "It was horrible to see my daughter in that state. She is walking into a place where she should be safe. She is there to get educated, not to be bullied.

The mum commented: "If there aren't any phones there aren't any videos but that doesn't stop the violence. And for the victim, if they are getting attacked they might not be able to alert people if they don't have a phone.
