Bullied girl whose hair was set on fire earns bravery award, hair makeover
FOX 29, Philadelphia PA
OVERBROOK (WTXF) – A bullied Overbrook teenager, whose hair was set on fire last month, is being honored for her bravery by an anti-bullying organization.
Neveah Robinson, 13, is feeling loved, and she and her family are trying to put the frightening ordeal behind them.
“One of the worst days of my life. I never thought I would get that kind of call,” said mother Tanya Robinson.
The eighth grader at Samuel Gromper Elementary School was walking to the bus stop on Oct. 16 when a 13-year-old boy took a lighter to her hair at 57th Street and Malvern Avenue in Wynnefield.
“I was very scared because I didn’t know what to do at the time,” Neveah said. “I was just panicking,”
Neveah was able to pat the flames out with her hands. Her family rushed her to the hospital, where she was treated for first-degree burns on her head.
“It was traumatizing,” said Neveah.

Solicitor’s dream career ‘in tatters after law chiefs botch bullying probe’
By Brendan McGinty, Daily Record
A lawyer has told how her career has been left in tatters because senior management mishandled a complaint of workplace bullying.
Ceri Evans was one of three women working in a branch of the Public Defence Solicitors’ Office who brought a complaint against the same male boss.
But incredibly the Scottish Legal Aid Board, who oversee the PDSO, handed a diary Ceri, 34, had written detailing the alleged incidents to senior solicitor Stuart Hamilton – who was the subject of the complaints.
The Information Commissioner’s Office have since warned the PDSO for breaching Ceri’s data protection rights.
Ceri, of Hamilton, has claimed her boss’s actions for causing a complete breakdown in their already difficult working relationship.
She has also claimed that two further complaints from women against the same man in an office of fewer than 10 people were not considered together with her own.
