Sydney Schoolgirl Assault: Three Teenagers Face Court Over Distressing Toilet Block Attack
Distressing footage has emerged from a public high school in Sydney's south-west, showing a young schoolgirl being allegedly assaulted and subjected to severe verbal abuse by fellow students. The incident, which occurred on February 27, has led to criminal charges against three teenage girls.
Alleged Attack Captured on Video
According to reports from the Daily Telegraph, the footage shows the 13-year-old victim being punched and verbally abused by a group of students while others watched and filmed. In the video, the girl is heard being called derogatory names and ordered to stand on a table.
One girl can be heard commanding: 'Start barking and start saying you're a bi***! Get on your knees and start barking. Say woof woof. Say it louder!' The victim then fell heavily after being pushed off the table.
Escalation of the Assault
The alleged attack intensified as the frightened victim was repeatedly ordered to declare herself the 'bi***' of others while being struck in the head. One assailant stated: 'These punches are for you.'
The bullying continued with the victim being told to 'say sorry to the wall' before being dragged into a toilet cubicle, where her head was pushed into a toilet bowl. Additional footage shows other schoolgirls watching and laughing while recording the incident.
Police Response and Charges
NSW Police confirmed to Daily Mail that officers were called to the school on February 27. Three girls, aged 13, 14, and 15, have been charged with multiple offences, including:
- Assault
- Stalk/intimidate with intent to cause fear or physical harm
The trio is scheduled to appear in a children's court in the coming weeks. A police spokesman stated: 'As the matter is before the court, police will not be making any further comment.'
School and Departmental Reaction
The NSW Department of Education has condemned the behaviour, with a spokesman emphasizing: 'This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated in NSW public schools.'
The school is now collaborating closely with police, and support measures have been implemented to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those affected by the incident.
The alleged attack extended outside the toilet block, where the victim was repeatedly pushed to the ground and punched, highlighting the severe nature of the bullying faced by the young student.
