The family of a British teen who became seriously ill after taking MDMA have released footage of her in her wheelchair.

Amy Thomson was 16 when she took the drug at a party in Glasgow last June.

She collapsed and was brought to hospital, where she remained in a critical condition for a month last summer.

After awakening from a coma, Amy was treated in a specialist rehabilitation unit for brain trauma patients.

Her recovery has been slow and the video shows her speech and movements are still severly impaired.
