Bullied Teen Beauty Is Found Safe

Apr 13 2008

A MISSING teenage model tormented over a disfiguring medical condition was found safe and well last night.

Kovi Dunbar, 17, was bullied at school when she had attacks of Bell's Palsy, which causes one side of the face to droop.

Kovi, a finalist in Miss Teen UK, had not been seen since leaving home in Cwmbran, Wales, to visit a friend in London on April 2.

Her mum Cynthia Langeveldt, 39 - who had travelled to London in a bid to find her daughter - was delighted when she turned up safe.

She said: "When Kovi has an attack, it looks like she's had a stroke. Kids at school teased her about it.

"It was so bad, teachers had to send her home."
