It’s a video which will make any parent’s stomach drop… their child being beaten and thrown about in a schoolyard brawl.

Yesterday we spoke to Nelson man Mike Harvey, whose 14-year-old son was attacked at Waimea College.

Today FM has since received more than a dozen messages from parents - with kids at schools across the country who say they’ve been bullied, beaten and terrified to go to class.

The mother of a boy involved in another fight at Waimea College last week… we’ve obtained footage - a screen recording of a Snapchat - which shows him being circled and assaulted while others jeer and film. At one point he raises his fists but is quickly beaten back by the other kid.
