Girl, 11, in Tears at Prom After Bullies Tore Her £450 Dress to Shreds
Over 50 children will attend a free prom re-do organized by local businesses and community members to support an 11-year-old girl bullied for three years.
- An 11-year-old Blackpool girl, Jessica Robinson, left her primary school prom in tears last month after bullies tore her £450 blue dress to shreds while filming and laughing.
- Jessica has endured bullying for three years, starting when she was in year three, which culminated in the dress attack on prom night and caused her to isolate herself and miss school afterwards.
- Following a Facebook post about Jessica's ordeal, the local community rallied, with bar owner Libbie Cannon leading a free 'Ballgowns & Bravery' prom re-do event on August 23 and recruiting local businesses for support.
- Libbie arranged for a local business to supply a red carpet for a special VIP entrance, and more than 50 children are anticipated to attend; additionally, Jessica’s blue dress was repaired at no cost by Micha, who intends for her to wear it again.
- Jessica remains under counselling since the incident, the bullying episode has been reported to police, and the prom re-do aims to help her create positive new memories replacing the traumatic experience.
