A 13-year-old student at Kingsgrove North School became the target of a harrowing bullying incident that lasted for five hours, involving a group of female classmates. This distressing episode unfolded within the confines of the boys’ bathroom, an area that became a stage for the torment captured on a mobile phone and later circulated on social media.
In an interview with 9News, the young student, whose identity is being protected, recounted the traumatic experience. “They started punching and kicking me repeatedly,” the student disclosed, describing the physical assault endured during the ordeal.
The bullying escalated as the group demanded the student undress against their will. “They told me to strip naked, which I didn’t want to do,” the student recalled, underscoring the severe intimidation faced during the attack.
This incident, emblematic of the growing concern over bullying in schools, highlights the urgent need for effective measures to ensure student safety and well-being.
The attack, which occurred inside the boys bathroom, was filmed on a mobile phone and shared on social media.
“They dragged my hair into the toilet bowl, two or three times, they flushed it so many times in there,” she said.
“The boys bathroom, it was already dirty.”
In one clip a shoe was forced into the student’s mouth
“The day after that they made me try to kiss their shoe and hit me in the mouth and that made my lip swollen also,” she said.
“I had to kiss both of their feet.”
Towards the end she was placed into a large rubbish bin.
“I thought it was going to be my last day on earth,” she said.
“I thought I was gonna die, maybe I gotta say my prayer, maybe this day is coming for me.”
Three girls aged between 13 and 15 have been charged over the alleged assault.
The girl’s mother told 9News she could not watch the full video.
“Oh my god my heart cries, even now,” she said.
The victim’s mother directed her anger towards the school.
“I think the school could have done a lot more,Â
“I don’t think they have done anything, if you can’t look after everyone’s child, don’t take them, don’t take them.”
The Department of Education said in a statement the behaviour is completely unacceptable.
An online fundraiser has now raised almost $15,000 dollars for the Year 8 student.
