North Wales Police have confirmed that a 14-year old-girl was arrested and released after being given a formal reprimand for common assault in relation to the incident in Flint, earlier this month.
Janet Roberts' 17-year-old granddaughter, who ask
ed not to be named, has suffered health problems and has taken two weeks off work, following her ordeal.
The girl, who suffers from type one diabetes, said she was attacked at a bus stop near her work by a gang of thugs.
Mrs Roberts, from Whitford, says her granddaughter, who turns 18 tomorrow, has suffered high blood sugar levels following the attack, which doctors have blamed on the stress and trauma of her ordeal.
"With the severe diabetes that she suffers from her blood sugars can go haywire when she gets upset or if she is ill," said Janet, 67.
"After she was attacked she had a really sore neck and was bruised all over. She has been in a lot of pain."
Mrs Roberts said: "She has been really shaken by this and I worry every time she sets off to go to work and when she is on her way home, that something might happen again.
"She is frightened, but I know she doesn't want to show it. I call her as soon as she finishes and makes sure she gets on the bus safe."
Mrs Roberts says she is worried that her granddaughter could have been seriously injured and has urged North Wales Police to improve their police presence in the area.
She said: "It is ridiculous the way that things are going, I just can't understand why people would do this to each other.
"Why young girls do this is beyond me and I don't like to think of any young person being arrested.
"But then again, people have got to be able to walk and feel safe and I hope that after her warning it has jolted this young girl and made her realise and think twice about doing something like this again.
"I have got the security guard from the retail park to keep an eye out for her now and she takes a slightly different route home to keep on the safe side."
A police spokesman confirmed the reprimand had been issued to the teenager.
