  1. Most people do not have any idea how common and how underreported this is.

  2. ‘…shows the girl being hit hard repeatedly on the head as a teacher and other pupils apparently look on unable to stop it.’

    Exactly HOW and WHY are the teachers unable to stop it?! What exactly is the point of having an adult present? Sorry I struggle to comprehend.

  4. The schools response isn’t the best. They seem more concerned the videos got posted than worried about the victim or how nobody intervened.

  5. If every incident was reported in my school or even what has happened in fights I’ve personally had we could have filled out news stories for the next 20 years.

  6. Sorry I don’t understand why behaviour in schools isn’t treated the same as in general society. Utterly criminal behaviour.

    Prosecute and convict such behaviour and have serious penalties, including fines on parents, etc. Also start collecting strikes for the children so if they commit crimes later in life they get much tougher sentences immediately. This is beyond unacceptable. If it happens once in a single school it is a scandal.

  7. The schools statement might have been the worst of all of it. Worried about comments on social media? How about the child having her brains smashed in under your care? Think the dole queue is calling for a few of them.

  8. I remember being hit by the teacher for daydreaming ffs.

  9. its crazy that parents can be fined for not sending kids to school. but also nobody will protect them from being beaten in the head that could leave them with Brain trauma

  10. I remember breaking up similar fights when I was at school in the mid-80s. Not in the classroom, though, usually on the bus.

  11. And watch the teachers blame both kids without any investigation, always happening at school

  13. As soon as my daughter is of age, im signing her to boxing class.

  14. This is very common and has been happening for decades in school and one of the main reasons in my opinion is that punishments aren’t severe enough or they are given to the victim rather than the perpetrator!

  16. Surprised this is even news, as others have already said this is quite common and underreported. The only difference now to 14 years ago when I was in high school is that whipping your phone out in class is more normal so more videos.

    Even I admittedly got in to a couple classroom scrapes that involved someone else’s or my own head getting banged off a table, wall, chair or a fist. Usual punishment we ever got was getting sent home for the rest of the day or detention and on very rare occasions it was a day or two suspension.

  17. This hit home for me. I was 13 (I’m now 31) and got absolutely battered by a load of older girls in the girls loos and had my head smashed on a sink. Then they followed me after school and beat me up on a field. It never leaves you.

  18. Sounds like the school is more worried about the behaviour being filmed than the actual behaviour itself which is worrying
