Cancer girl's hair set on fire
Bianca Powell was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of three
Police are investigating after a girl who had battled back from cancer had her newly-grown hair set on fire at a school near Swansea.
Bianca Powell, who turned 12 on Friday, was in a corridor at Pontarddulais Comprehensive when her hair, which had grown back after four years of chemotherapy, was set alight.
She suffered shock and mild burns in the attack.
Police have bailed a 14-year-old boy, pending further inquiries.
It's just dreadful that someone could set fire to her hair after all she's been through
Jason Powell
Her father Jason Powell is keeping his daughter home from school while an investigation is carried out.
Mr Powell, 38, said: "Bianca can't get over this. She just keeps on asking: How can anybody do this to me?
"We've pulled her out of school since this happened on Monday.
"Bianca is blind in her left eye and the left side of her face is paralysed.
Safe and happy
"She's only been back in school since September after having many, many months for all her hospital treatment.
"She's loved being at school with her friends until this happened.
"Bianca really wants to go back. After she has been poorly for so long, it is the normality of school that she loves.
Her family said it took courage to return to school after her illness
"But we've been through hell and back as a family and we love her so much. We want her to be safe and happy."
Bianca, the eldest of three girls, is due to celebrate her 12th birthday on Friday with a private party for her closest friends.
Mr Powell, of Parc Gernfadog, Morriston, added: "We want her to have as normal a birthday as she can.
"It's just dreadful that someone could set fire to her hair after all she's been through.
"It took an awful lot of courage for her to return to school after going through radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
"It took four years for her hair to grow back."
Bianca has spent most of her life battling cancer - she was just three when a brain tumour was diagnosed.
Since then she has undergone regular sessions of chemotherapy which caused her hair to fall out.
Fully investigated
But she was winning her battle and started at Pontarddulais Comprehensive School three months ago.
Police have interviewed Bianca and some of her classmates on video for use in court.
Parents of pupils at the school were reassured on Thursday that the incident was being fully investigated.
Head teacher John Radford said: "There was an incident at the school which was of a serious nature.
"It is being dealt with by the school and we are using appropriate school procedures to deal with it.
"We are speaking with children to make sure that we have a full understanding of what has been going on at that time."
The comprehensive school was described as a "very good school with many strengths" in a recent report by education inspectors.
It has won an award for a scheme to tackle bullying on school buses.
Detective inspector Andy Hughes, of Swansea CID, said: "Officers were called to the school following reports of a disturbance.
"As a result a 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of assault.
"He was spoken to by police and has been bailed pending further inquiries."
