Two St. Catharines parents are frustrated and fearful after an alleged attack by three other students sent their 12-year-old daughter to hospital on Tuesday.

This attack is the most recent example of what Jim and Hailea Squires say has been ongoing bullying their daughter Emily has endured at Harriet Tubman Public School ever since she came out as gay. Jim said it’s painted a real target on her back with a group of students whom she tells him have been cornering her in class and calling her homophobic slurs.
