It makes my heart hurt hearing the awful things some children are put through at school, and how no one seems to be able to help.

Im sad to say that schools are pretty useless with bullies.
My then 6year old was being emotiionally and physically bullied by an 8yr old boy. The school talked to him but that did nothing. I made daily reports and complaints. In the end my 10yr old daughter found the 8ur old boy in the playground and slammed him up against a tree and helf him there by his shirt front. She told him that if he ever touched or even spoke to her little sister ever again she would punch his head in. I was horrified when she informed me of this but she said she didnt care as she was sick of her little sister being picked on. That was the end of the story. He left my daughter alone from then on.

This is the sort of technology I wish had never been invented. No child should have to suffer like this.

Every parent’s worst nightmare. I hope that someone’s held accountable for this.

I can understand the family wanting retribution, someone to blame, and rightly so. They have done all the things they should have to support their daughter but were still let down in the most terrible way. They cannot get her back. Someone, in this instance, needs to be accountable.

That’s disgusting! Something needs to be done! stories like this one are becoming more and more common. I don’t want my daughter or son to have to go through this.

Such a sad story. I have heard the school my eldest goes to report any sort of bullying straight to the Police-I hope this is true as this is the only way to deal with bullies.

Such a distressing story. Schools need to take a more proactive approach when it comes to bullying. Not good enough. I’m so sad to hear about what this girl and her family went through.

I have been waiting for something like this to happen. Yes the school has some part in this but I think the bullies themselves should be sued as well. Lets face it, they were the perpetrators that led this girl to feel she had no life and couldn’t go on.

BULLIES SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY !

This will never be stopped, has been going on for years and not many schools care. Hopefully if enough of us fight back people will listen. Homeschooled two children due to bullying at school. It does not take much for bullies to pick up on the differences in people.

I feel very sad for this family and their daughter. In the article there are obvious cases of assault – were these incidents reported to the police? I think too often people are reluctant to go to the police, but it needs to be reported and charges laid.

Absolutely gorgeous but I’m exhausted just thinking about it. Good luck I hope they have an amazing village to help raise these babies.

Awful if anyone feels let down by school, peers, community, workmates, family and in this case Breannah by her school. Praying for those who struggle right now.
Schools should make very serious business from anti-bullying programs and we as parents from bullies and victims should take this very serious as well.

schools really do need to take more action when reports are made

Unfortunately it is compulsory for parents/guardians to send their children to school. They possibly had an option to send her to a different school. It may have still happened after school. Pity it hadn’t been reported to the Police and them had a couple of undercover officers observing, hoping to apprehend the culprits.

She was definitely let down by her school. Parents need to understand they can’t rely on schools to keep their children safe and remove them if nothing gets done before its too late.
