My daughter was bullied relentlessly for years ending with her being shot in the face and pelvic area with a BB gun. The school did not ring, police were not called and when I went to the principle to complain, I was told to calm down and they didn't know there was a gun involved. The boy was suspended for 3 days. I got my child out of that school very soon after. This was a public school on Sydneys north shore
