Ms Austin tweeted final week: “After weeks of being bullied by the same girl, numerous phone calls to the school and nothing changing, today when being called names my daughter finally punched the bully in the face.
“Proud mum,” she wrote.
The tweet blew up, garnering 17,000 likes.
Asked whether or not her daughter feels higher now “she’s stood up for herself”, Austin replies “No, but she’s hoping the girl will leave her alone now.”
As for the bully, Austin doesn’t appear glad with the result that the varsity responded with.
“(My daughter) is in an in-school exclusion at the moment whilst the other child is in class,” she wrote.
“I asked what sanction she would be receiving and was told she was only verbally abusive but other students’ sanctions are not allowed to be discussed with me.
In a follow-up tweet, Austin wrote “No wonder bullying is never stopped in schools.”
One social media consumer responded “your daughter should not be hitting anyone – ever.
“I get that bullying is awful and harmful but when I said that your daughter’s actions would make things worse, you can now see where I was going.
“Bullying someone “back” by hitting can also be bullying.”
Austin responded unequivocally, asking what various decision technique can be prompt.
“I’d be interested to hear how you’d suggest a resolution to the bullying,” she mentioned.
“School couldn’t stop it, it was wrecking her mental health and affecting her GSCE studies, what is the right course of action here?!”
“Also, she didn’t ‘bully’ back. Bullying is repeated behaviour, intended to hurt someone emotionally and physically.
“She has no intent of malice, all she wants is to be left alone to quietly enjoy school!”
The Australian Government’s “Bullying. No Way!” initiative says “schools can be much more effective when parents report bullying and support their efforts to deal with it.”
