A brave teenage survivor of a tragic stabbing incident in Southport, where three young girls lost their lives, has courageously spoken out against the perpetrator. The victim, who remains anonymous due to her age, condemned the attacker as a coward, emphasizing the physical and emotional scars she endured during the horrifying attack.
Recalling the harrowing events, the teenager revealed that she was stabbed multiple times, resulting in permanent injuries. Despite the trauma she faced, she decided to share her story publicly for the first time, shedding light on the challenges she encountered post-incident.
Following the attack, her school in Southport organized special outings to help her recover from the mental and physical toll she endured. The victim’s mother praised the school’s support and efforts to create moments of joy for her daughter, who missed out on a normal summer with friends.
The young survivor, known for her passion for dance, expressed the mental struggles she faced in returning to her beloved activity after the traumatic experience. Despite physical healing, the emotional impact of the attack lingered, affecting her daily life and activities.
Months after the stabbing, the perpetrator pleaded guilty to the murder of three children and attempted murder of several others, a move criticized by the victim and her family as a cowardly act. The girl’s mother acknowledged the likelihood of never understanding the attacker’s motives, emphasizing the need to find closure without all the answers.
The teenager, now dedicated to making a positive impact, is launching a foundation called Go Anywhere, Be Anything (GABA) to raise awareness about knife crime and advocate for first aid training in schools. With upcoming participation in the Southport Inquiry, she aims to share her story and promote change in the community.
Despite her desire to remain anonymous for safety reasons, the survivor plans to reveal her identity upon turning 18 to advance her foundation’s cause. Through initiatives like selling GABA merchandise and conducting awareness campaigns in local schools, she hopes to combat knife crime and inspire young people to make informed choices.
