A SCHOOLGIRL granted legal aid to sue a local authority over bullying claims, has dropped her action, it was revealed last night.
Natalie King, from Newmachar, was seeking £20,000 compensation from Aberdeen City Council for psychological damage and trauma.

But the council said the action would not go ahead, saving taxpayers thousands of pounds in potential legal costs.

John Tomlinson, speaking on behalf of the council, said: "We will be seeking an award of expenses against Miss King."

Leave the girl alone, she has been through enough.

John Tomlinson you are nothing but a greedy council money grabber.

Err, exuse me...nothing ever happened to Natalie King! I attended Dyce academy when she was there ( I still do, in fact) and she was never bullied to a huge extent. She deliberately provoked others, in order to get attention. Instead of docusing on her. focus on her year head, Grant Bruce, who went through 5 years of hell because of this case.

She should never have been bullied at all. If we can’t protect our kids in the school, what chance have they got later on in life.
All Kids are attention seekers in one way or another.
