Mum-of-three Aimee Johnson, has had enough of bullies.
Her 9-year-old daughter Jayden, had been continuously bullied since moving to a new school.
She was being attacked by three boys on the bus to and from school, and was absolutely devastated.
Mum Aimee contacted the school and bus authorities about the bullying, but nothing was done about it.
So she took to Facebook, post heart-breaking pictures of Jayden crying and calling out the school for not taking action.
In her now viral Facebook post, Aimee explained what happened.
"This is NOT ok!" she writes "This is the 3rd time physical violence has happened to her in 4 months. I’m done!"
The three bulies apparently took her water bottle and hit her on the head with it, calling her "ugly" and "dumb".
"The first two times I was told that the cameras were pulled and the act was seen by the bus department and the principal and that action by the principal would be taken.. [it] never was!"
Despite constant reassurances that action would be taken by the bus, company, the bullying still continued.
"My daughter does not deserve this at 9 years old by 4th and 5th grade boys! Teach your sons not to hit women! Done!"
Not only is this heart-breaking as mother to witness it, Aimee continued to say that not standing up to bullying results in teenage suicide.
"This right here is the reason we see so many young girls committing suicide! They are bullied! I’m not going to let this happen to my child again!"
With over 12,000 likes and 9,000 shares, Aimee's post certainly got the attention it deserved. Many commenters have also shared their own stories of bullying, either being bullied themselves or bring parents to bullied children.
In an updated post, Aimee said that action had finally been taken in the school to stop the bullying.
Speaking to local media, she said that they are now doing their best to build back up Jayden's confidence.
“What we have been trying to tell her is that she’s amazing, don’t listen to what these people say about you. But even with us saying that I feel like this is going to scar her forever."
