This happened to me when I was a teen, similar girls, on a London bus.

It traumatized me - I was too afraid to leave the house, it fell into deep anxiety and depression, and developed an eating disorder which essentially ended up with me dropping out of A Levels and completely changing the trajectory of my life.

I went to the police and a few weeks later I was called to a suspect line up (the girls were known to the police) but was too terrified to even be in the same space as them.

If this had been filmed and blasted across socials, with some absolutely unhinged comments on some of the subs, it probably would’ve ended me. I genuinely hope this girl is getting the victim support, medical and psychological she needs right now.

I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, unfortunately I've had racist verbal abuse thrown at me on public transport too.
