(National-UAE) Many young survivors of the Manchester Arena bombing were “let down by adults in authority” as they dealt with mental trauma in the aftermath, a study has found six years after the attack.
Britain’s Prince William hailed the youngsters as “an inspiration” as they opened up on what he called “significant personal challenges.”
Survivors said their feelings were dismissed as “teenage hormones,” their ordeal described as a “positive experience” and that in many cases they were not offered help at all.
The findings were described as heartbreaking by the head of a British emergencies charity.
The May 22, 2017, terrorist attack killed 22 people and injured hundreds at an Ariana Grande concert attended by many teenagers and young people.
