Aussie mums rally behind woman who confronted daughter's bully

A group of mums have rallied behind a pregnant woman who stormed into her daughter's classroom to confront the 12-year-old who was bullying her. 

The mother from Adelaide made headlines after she walked into her daughter's classroom at St Paul's College in Gillies Plains, north-east Adelaide, on Monday, where she launched into an expletive-ridden tirade at her daughter's bully. 

The mother told Seven News that she and her husband had pleaded with the school to intervene in her daughter's alleged bullying, but said that fell on deaf ears.

"I don't want my daughter to be another statistic. I don't want to have to bury my child," she said. "She was crying, she was devastated that this child told her to go and hang herself."

After the woman lashed out at her daughter's bully, she issued an apology saying, "What everybody has seen of me is not who I am as a mother or as a person."

However, many thought she had nothing to apologise for, as many women rallied behind her online saying they would have done the same thing if their child was being bullied. 

Young mum and personal trainer Jess Dickson stood up for the woman, saying for a mum to "lose her s**** like  that" shows that she genuinely believed her daughter's life was at stake. 

"The tonality, and the frustration, and the fear, and just the 'f*** you' in her voice it really shows that this was a final straw for this mum," she said in a TikTok video. 

"Now in the past year, multiple children have committed suicide because of bullying because no one stands up for them. Teachers and parents might not see it, and the parents of the bullies probably just say, 'Oh no, that's not my kid'."

Many agreed with Ms Dickson's take, saying they would "rather attend court than their child's funeral". 

"Team Mumma Bear all the way... Personally, I would have been right there beside her if my kid was in the same school," one mum wrote. 

"Soooo on team Mama Bear. I fear I would be a bit more psychotic," another agreed.
