Sickening footage of bully beating up schoolgirl, 14, is captured on mobile phone and posted on Facebook
Published by Waleed Fakhroo on October 10, 2009
Footage of a schoolgirl being viciously beaten in a ‘happy slap’ attack was posted on a social networking website by her bullies.
Chantelle Smith, 14, can be seen cowering in terror as a teenage girl punches and kicks her in front of a mob of jeering children, who videoed the assault on their mobile phones.
The onlookers can be heard goading the attacker to ‘smack her one’ and ‘kick her’ in the 64-second clip, which was posted on Facebook.
Last night police said they are investigating the incident, which took place on secluded land behind Rivington and Blackrod High School, near Bolton.
Chantelle’s mother, Kate Smith, yesterday spoke of her disgust at the attack.
She said she had withdrawn her daughter from the school and has demanded the bully be expelled.
‘When I found out about it I was disgusted,’ she said. ‘It could have been fatal. We are not talking about slaps. We are talking about punches and knees in the face.
‘My priority is my daughter’s safety and I don’t think she will be safe in school while the bully is there.

After throwing Chantelle to the ground, the bully kicks the 14-year-old while she cowers on the floor
‘The school has told us they cannot control this girl but she is getting an education while Chantelle is missing out.’
The attack took place at 1.20pm a fortnight ago behind a PE store room.
Chantelle, a year ten pupil, said the fight was sparked because of a row over name calling.
The teenager said she was previously friends with her attacker, who is a year older and is referred to as ‘Amy’ in the footage, but the pair fell out and she started to bully her.
The footage shows the attacker gripping Chantelle in a headlock and pulling her hair, before punching and kneeing her in the face.
To cheers of ‘go on Amy’ and ‘go stick her,’ the attacker is encouraged to beat and kick Chantelle. She also punches her hard in the face as she lies on the ground.

Chantelle said she was ’shaking and crying’ following the attack and is ‘always thinking about it’
Following the attack Chantelle, who suffered cuts and bruises and lost large clumps of her hair, said she reported the incident to teachers who contacted her family.
Yesterday Chantelle said: ‘I just went dizzy and fell to the ground and she punched me in the face. My face went numb. I was shaking and crying. I’m always thinking about it.’
Her mother pulled her out of school the following week after the bully – who was supposed to stay away from Chantelle – threatened her again.
Tony Purcell, headmaster at the school, said: ‘We are happy that appropriate sanctions have been put in place, but it is not our practice to give further details.
‘However, Chantelle’s happiness and welfare remains our utmost priority in this situation.’ ( Source: DailyMail)
