Mum confronts daughter's ‘bully’ in viral school showdown

A fed-up mum’s confrontation with her daughter’s alleged bullies has racked up half a million views, but some people think she crossed the line.

A fed-up mum, frustrated that her child’s school was seemingly doing nothing to stop her daughter from being cyberbullied, has taken matters into her own hands and decided to confront her child’s alleged bullies herself.

An Auckland-based mum of four, shared a video of the confrontation on TikTok, where it has now amassed over 500,000 views.

The footage shows the mother walking into a room as an adult woman tells her to “Stop”.

She bypasses her, and begins speaking to a girl, while two other adults believed to be teachers stand between them.

“Why are you posting my daughter online? Huh?” she asked the young student, who was seated behind one of the teachers and whose face was blurred.

One of the teachers tells the mother, “This is not the place,” but she repeats her question to the girl: “Why are you posting my daughter online?”

“Do you know how many people die from suicide because of that?” she continues. “Don’t fat shame my daughter online.”

When an adult threatens to call the police, the mother encourages them, saying she has “proof” to show that her daughter’s classmates are bullying her online.

Meanwhile, the alleged bully remained silent, even as the mother revealed the online insults directed at her daughter included calling her a “fat hippo”.

“I have all the screenshots, you sent it to everybody to post,” she claimed.

As one of the adults tries to diffuse the situation, the mum warns: “If I have to come back, it won’t be pretty,” before she walks away.

While she admitted in the caption that she “should have waited” for parent-teacher night, she said she “couldn’t help” but defend her daughter.

“F**k bullying, f**k fat shaming. If you ain’t teaching your kids that bullying is not okay, WTF (are) you doing? And I’d do it again,” the caption read.

In the comments, most people praised the mum for dealing with the issue herself.

“This is exactly how it should be handled ... Go you mumma!” said one comment with 7000 likes.

“We stand with you mama!” another wrote.

“That’s the way, stand up against bullying! Parents of bullies – do better,” a third wrote.

“Sometimes, parents of bullied children get so fed up that this is how they deal with the situation,” a fourth said.

But some said she was just as bad as the bully.

“You’re doing the same thing to the poor kid, shocking behaviour as a parent,” claimed one.

“It’s so scary how there are people out there advocating for anti-bullying and looking out for victims, but then figure that bullying bullies back is the solution?” someone else said.

It in not known which school this occurred at.
