The victim is seen to be hit in the head multiple times and is even kicked at one point.

In a Facebook post where she shared the video, the mother of the victim wrote “once again my daughter has been bullied at school”.

“This is like the 4th, maybe 5th time by the same lot of girls or girl. I was told this afternoon before this video footage came to light, that there was nothing that could be done by the school that there wasn’t enough evidence,” she wrote.

“I went to the school this afternoon and went off at this girl.

“It’s time everyone knows what I’m dealing with.”

Another woman wrote: “Tannum High I am not sure what zero tolerance to bullying means to you but to tell a mother there is nothing you can do is a load of sh**. You disgust me!!!! Get you (sic) f***ing s*** together and take action against this child.”

Member for Gladstone Glenn Butcher took to Facebook to condemn the “disturbing video”, saying any form of bullying was not acceptable.

“Any form of bullying, and especially one involving this level of violence is disgusting, unacceptable and has no place in our society and especially not in our schools,” he wrote.

“Any situation that threatens the safety and wellbeing of students, staff or others in the school community is treated extremely seriously, and dealt with as a matter of priority.”

Mr Butcher said the Department of Education was working with the families of the students involved and would continue to support them.

“The students in the video have been dealt with in line with the school’s Responsible Behaviour Plan,” he wrote.

“No further details can be provided due to student privacy issues.”

The Department of Education has been contacted for comment.
