During an interview, the girl’s mother, Leigh, reportedly said that her 12-year-old daughter, who was not named, was sitting at her desk in school when several of her classmates claimed to have noticed a smell coming from between her daughter’s legs. The girl’s mother also added that the cruel classmates’ next move put her daughter in the emergency room.
According to the mother, after going through an unimaginably painful ordeal with her 12-year-old daughter, she didn’t know what to do. So, with nowhere left to share her problem, she posted her story on Facebook in hopes that it might resonate with other social media users and ultimately make a difference in the world.
“Our beautiful girl has been subjected to some awful bullying at school,” the mother wrote on her social media account. “It’s been a very private 7 months for us, dealing with this, immediate family only.” After trying to deal with the bullying of her daughter privately for months, the mother turned to the public. Things weren’t getting any better at her daughter’s school.
In fact, they had gotten so bad that the poor girl was now attempting suicide. In a desperate plea to other parents on social media, the mother explained what her daughter had been made to endure by her cruel classmates and the incompetent administrators who did nothing to put an end to her torture.
“In this age of social media, children think it’s ok to send hateful messages without consequences,” she wrote on Facebook. “I’ve had calls from these children calling me an old hag because I’ve defended our daughter, approached parents and pleaded with them to talk with their children and ask them to stop. I’ve even approached the children themselves, but been threatened by parents with harassment.”
“The state department of education doesn’t expel children from schools for bullying, as they say: ‘Every child is entitled to an education.’ What about our child’s entitlement?” she implored. “She’s been sent home numerous times after self-harming at school. She’s not allowed a pencil sharpener she takes the blade out and cuts herself.
The state department of education also told me: ‘You should teach your child how to be resilient against bullies.’ Yes, they said that.” The mother went on to share one of the more devastating ordeals her daughter was made to endure at school. The end result was a trip to the emergency room because the little girl was so embarrassed and emotionally tortured that she was trying to kill herself. “Our girl has had a video taken of her sitting at her desk at school, legs slightly open, with a lovely caption about the smell,” she wrote.
“It was posted to Snapchat. I spent 90 mins with the police as they tried to determine if it was photographing and distribution of po-nographic material.” “Yes, a 12-year-old can be prosecuted if the content breaches certain criteria,” wrote the mother. “Sadly our daughter didn’t, but she was subjected to weeks of ridicule. Repercussions? The girl who posted the video lost her playtime.
The person who took the video? Nothing, because no one would tell who it was,” the frustrated mother added. The mother also shared a photo of her daughter in the hospital so that viewers could visualize just how devastating the consequences of bullying can be. The mother said she had spent five hours in the past week with psychiatrists, doctors, and nurses because the girl had the plan to commit suicide.
“Please, in this awful age of social media (or anti-social media as we call it) check your children’s messages,” implored the heartbroken mother. “Their devices are a privilege, nothing more, nothing less, so please make sure they are being polite and respectful in their messages. Teach the children to ‘talk’ and not use text or social media to air their differences. Bullying affects the whole family, not just the bullied. It needs to stop and it needs to stop now!”
That poor girl and those bullies getting away with such horror. Get the ring leader, the others are scares it could be them on the end of the nasty bitch.
The parents are the ones who need education they should teach their children facts of life to the little girl take no notice of these bullies they will get their just deserts.
I.understand how kids bully but why did she smell so bad ? Did you find out kids will be kids immature but straight up
This bullying has been going on for years. I hoped it was getting better, but no. Schools need to do something about this. ALL children deserve an education, but why should bullying be tolerated, what about these poor kids who live in fear everyday? what about their education? This needs sorting once and for all, their should be zero tolerance and bullies are the ones who should be punished, suspend them, exoel.the, whatever it takes to make school a place where everyone has the right to peace and to an education.
What hope or chance do parents have in circumstances like this when the powers-that-be stand by and do nothing.
