A terrified Florida 6th grader is forced to flee after a viral video of her being beaten by school bullies went viral on social media.
Daniel Kicker said his son was forced to leave after being brutally bullied at two Florida high schools.
Kicker tells WINK how she noticed her daughter was withdrawn and reluctant to attend her classes at Veterans Park Academy for the Arts.
A concerned mother immediately notified Lehigh County Middle School administrators when her daughter admitted she was being bullied.
Kicker was assured that her little girl would be protected but within hours of the meeting she was brutally beaten in the school bathroom by a classmate.

Kicker transfers his traumatized daughter to another school to give the youngster a fresh start.
That hope was soon dashed when his new classmates, who had seen the video, also started bullying him.
Kicker believes school officials completely failed her child. ‘He had none,’ said the mother.

Desperate to save her little girl from further pain, Kicker has removed her daughter from a second school and sent her to Missouri to live with extended family while she comes up with a long-term plan.
‘I have to make sure I can find a safe place for him to feel safe every day,’ Kiker said.
‘I just want him to come home. I want him to have a safe place to come.’
School officials told the station they are beefing up anti-bullying training for staff in response to the incident.
WINK uncovered dozens more videos of school bullying in the district for all ages.
A local school board member, Armon Parsons, told the outlet that he believes cell phones are causing school disruption and that he would help kids turn them on during class.
