The girl’s mother said she arrived at the school for a meeting over bullying to find her daughter sat 'rocking' after the shooting.

Homophobia

A transgender girl aged 11 was shot with a BB gun by a boy in school.

Her mother claims the gun attack was the culmination of a sickening five-month campaign of violent bullying because of her gender.

She claims vile bullies have:

*Thrown water over her

*Spat at her

*Kicked her to the floor

*Told her she would be taken to the school’s gym and beaten up ‘because she’s a boy, not a girl’

*Abused her and called her names on a daily basis

In another previous incident before the shooting, the girl’s mother said cruel classmates wrote ‘tranny’ and ‘freak’ and drew lewd images of penises on the cover of one of her exercise books.
