“This mum, her daughter was being bullied so the mum showed up to the school enraged,” co-host, Kyle Sandilands told listeners.

“We’ve got her on the phone now.”

In a clip shared to Tik Tok, fellow KIIS FM host Jackie O comments on the mum’s “sweet voice” as she answers the phone.

“Our daughter was bullied immensely probably for over 12 months,” the mum said.

“She stopped eating – I would find mouldy sandwiches in her bag.

“She had come home and she fell into my arms on the floor and said ‘mum, I cannot do this anymore, what is the point of living?’”

An emotional Jackie O responded through tears saying “as a mum” she can “only imagine” what the South Australian woman thought.

“You did what your supposed to do, you protected your child,” Sandilands added.

The mum continued to say she had gone through “the right channels”.

“It is disgusting that they didn’t do anything for you,” Jackie O said.

“She would go from a beautiful thirteen-year-old girl to nothing,” the mum responded.

Sandilands then revealed that the show had invited the eSafety Commissioner onto the show to discuss issues around youth suicide.

“The e-commissioner will not come on and talk to us about it – that’s her only job,” Sandilands said.

“Bullying should be immediately outlawed and I mean severe punishment.

“How many little kids have to die? Just one politician is all we need to stand up and protect the children.”

Commenters on the Tik Tok came to the mother’s defence with many commending her for her actions.

“We stand with Mumma Bear,” one viewer wrote.

“Protect this mumma,” another said.
