US EditionFife school support worker who boasted of 'selling vapes to 11-year-olds' struck off
- Gillian Sorbie, a support worker at a Glenrothes primary school, was struck off in May 2025 for sending abusive messages and selling vapes to children.
- Her misconduct occurred after she sent threatening Snapchat messages to a 12-year-old in March 2023 and offered nicotine vapes to underage schoolgirls.
- The regulator responsible for Scotland’s social services deemed her unfit to practise due to her use of abusive language, efforts to delete incriminating messages, and a conviction related to selling vapes to a minor.
- The SSSC highlighted that Sorbie’s messages contained insults such as "love you too, s**gbag," and she acknowledged the need to keep her sales of vapes to 11-year-olds discreet, joking about not wanting others to find out.
- The removal order effective May 2025 bans Sorbie from working with children, while Fife Council confirmed she no longer works for them due to this behaviour.
