Legal action was taken by a couple after her adopted daughter was bullied at school, resulting in a five-and-a-half-year libel lawsuit.
In 2011, Anthony Wooley (Anthony Woolley) and Janet Kensin (Janet Kencian) angrily demanded an apology from their daughter, Golly (Gowri), who was called "black bitch" at Keynesian school Trinity Anglican School.
According to the Australian newspaper, they report to the school about their daughter`s racial discrimination and bullying, and with the then headmaster Christopher. Dot. Waterney (Christopher Daunt Watney) met.
At the age of nine, the couple met her in a crowded orphanage and instantly fell in love with the girl.
She survived the streets of Bangalore, India, and was taken to Keynes to experience a "happy childhood" with the opportunity to maximize her personal potential.
After Wooley and Kensin found the school, the school conducted an external survey, but they were not satisfied with the results.
To seek further help, the couple, who adopted four children, wrote to Julie, the then education director, in 2012. Grantham (Julie Grantham).
Later in 2011, the school sued the parents for defamation for the letter, demanding compensation of 75,000 yuan.
Wooley also filed a libel suit, claiming three hundred and eighty eight thousand nine hundred and ninety nine yuan in compensation.
Although the first jury did not consider the letter defamatory, the court found their results "perverse" after the second instance and ordered a retrial of the jury.
The lawsuit took more than five years to settle, and Gory`s parents paid 850000 yuan in legal fees.
Now at the age of 19, Wooley says their daughter is under tremendous pressure, but they have not received any form of apology.
"We fought for five and a half years, causing us extreme economic and spiritual suffering, but our determination to solve the problem has not wavered," he said.
Later, principal Dot. Waterney went to a school in Sydney to become deputy principal. The decision to sue the parents was made by the school, he said, but he did not say whether he agreed with the decision.
"I was the principal of the school," he said. "it is not the decision of the school principal to take any action; it is the decision of the school board."
Jason Fowler, chairman of the Trinity Anglican School board of directors, said the school was held accountable because they believed the school`s former president, Dott, was responsible. Waterney`s reputation was tarnished.
