Britain Got Talent star Susan Boyle has lately been the center of series of abuses in her hometown of West Lothian, Scotland. The 57-year-old singer, who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome, got pelted with stones and called out names by a group of 15-ish teenagers while waiting at a bus station.

Bystanders who witnessed the event said the group ‘hounded’ on the singer. She also had a bottle hurled at her. Speaking about the incident Susan says,

While I was waiting at the bus they lobbed a glass bottle at my head. Luckily, it missed – it would have been painful if it had hit me.
