Glamour model's kids told teaching assistant 'our mum's gonna batter you' - and she did

A glamour model has escaped jail over a vicious revenge attack on a teaching assistant who had accused her children of being bullies.

Lorna Silcock, 33, dragged her victim to the ground in a public park before she pulled clumps of her hair out, headbutted her and repeatedly punched and kicked her. The mum-of-five launched the horror attack in front of the teaching assistant's baby and 12-year-old daughter.

In the run up to the assault in April last year, Chester Crown Court heard the victim, who works at a primary school in Macclesfield, berated Silcock's children after they had been teasing her daughter - but they responded: ''Our mum's gonna batter you.''

In a statement the victim, who suffered concussion, black eyes and a dislocated finger, said: ''It left me feeling unsafe to leave home in fear of something like that happening again. It left me feeling isolated. I have been sent home from work due to panic attacks and fear of leaving the house.

"The children saw me crying after the assault and for weeks I could not string a sentence together. I kept forgetting what I was talking about. My daughter witnessed the assault whilst screaming and crying. She’s only young and should not have to witness something like that.

"She does not want to see me go anywhere alone in case I get hurt again, she wants to take up boxing to defend herself and protect me. I have felt completely rundown every day, both mentally and emotionally, I just want to get back to my normal self.”

Silcock, a beautician from Macclesfield, who models on the subscription website Exclusive Link, admitted assault occasioning actual bodily harm and was sentenced to 14 months
