COURIER OPINION: Kirkcaldy High School attack video is a lesson for adults to set a better example
Shocking footage which appears to show a grown woman egging on an attack at Kirkcaldy High School is a reminder to adults to do better.

Another day, another appalling example of violence in our local schools.
The case of a pupil being kicked in the head and knocked out by another girl in at attack at Kirkcaldy High School is absolutely shocking.
However, what is utterly breathtaking – and frankly incomprehensible to most right-minded people – is that an adult appears to be egging on one of the combatants.
A video of the Kirkcaldy High School attack appears to show a woman yelling ‘kick her in the face’.
If the level of violence is horrific, the encouragement from the sidelines can fairly be described as barbaric.
What chance do our young people have when adults, rather than intervening and attempting to stop such wanton attacks, can openly condone this type of behaviour?
Sadly this is no one-off.
