DURBAN - A 17-year-old girl has been rushed to hospital after attempting to take her own life following a bullying incident earlier today, Thursday, 27 February.

The bullying happened at a secondary school in the EThekweni region.

Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) received multiple calls for assistance earlier, reporting that a child was found unconscious in her home.

Paramedics and Reaction Officers arrived at the home at 16:55 and found the female lying on the ground. While Paramedics stabilised the child, the mother informed Reaction Officers that her daughter was a victim of bullying. 

She was repeatedly assaulted by several students over a period of time. One incident was recorded on a phone and had gone viral on social media. 

The mother explained that upon her return from work, she called out to the grade 11 student to let her indoors. She eventually had to force the door open to gain entry and found her daughter on the kitchen floor with slit wrists and several bottles of medication lying beside here. 

Paramedics expedited the child to a local hospital.

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education is yet to comment on the incident.
