Stylized TikTok videos of a vicious beatdown with slow-motion effects and a soundtrack humiliated an 11-year-old girl at a gifted and talented school in Brooklyn — and the bullies continue to torment her while educrats do little to stop it.
The student at the Mark Twain Intermediate School for the Gifted and Talented has been targeted by mean girls since the beginning of the school year, and was brutally attacked last month, but the school has only offered her a “safety transfer” instead of stopping her tormentors.
An Oct. 20 video shot outside of the Coney Island performing arts school shows a bully storming through a crowd to reach the girl, who tries to turn away and yells, “Get the f–k off of me.”
The attacker knocks her to the ground with a single punch before pummeling her.
One video is captioned, “THE SMACK WAS MAD LOUD,” and another said, “my sister f–ked her up” with laughing emojis.
The bullying has only continued as the victim’s parents plead for help.
“Imagine knowing you could not like someone, harass them, plot an attack and film it and spread the evidence,” her father told The Post. “Then your victim has to leave and you get to go on terrorizing other kids.
“If that keeps going, it will be more a juvenile detention center than a G&T school,” he said.
The family requested anonymity out of fear of further retribution.
The school has since increased supervision of the students involved, conducted “wellness check-ins” and offered “restorative mediation” sessions, according to the city Department of Education.
But the father said the sit-down with the bully only put a target on his daughter’s back, letting her know exactly who ratted her out. His seventh-grade daughter is now escorted by a staffer acting like a “bodyguard” during school and he and his wife — a DOE teacher herself — pick her up everyday to accompany her out of the building.
They want more cameras and school safety agents and have considered transferring but said it would only be running from the problem.
The dad credits an assistant principal for trying to help but says their hands are tied by policies that avoid strict disciplinary measures like expulsion.
Though he says the bully was suspended, she continued taunting his daughter online and had friends tell her she wanted a rematch when she returned.
The bully made fun of the girl and her boyfriend, writing “Ur n—a look like a f—-t” over a photo of the young couple, using the N-word and a homophobic slur.
“Ur parents can see this, [I don’t really care],” the brazen bully said after taunting her over texts. When the girl’s parents responded, the aggressor posted screenshots of the interaction on Snapchat.
On Nov. 17, the girl noticed a message scratched onto a bathroom stall at the school, identifying her by name as a “dirty a– whore” and “fat as f–k,” her family said.
A recent post on a TikTok page called “Mark Twain Gossip” recently slammed the girl for getting students suspended and called her a “bitch,” a “dumbass” and other nasty labels.
Her father said she is just the latest target of the bullies, who have been at it since they all started in sixth grade.
One Brooklyn parent pulled her daughter from the school last year over a “nightmarish” experience with bullying, much of it online, by the same crew. It left her daughter eating lunch with teachers, doing remote schooling for the last month of the year and needing therapy.
“I didn’t even recognize her anymore,” the mother told The Post.
After several complaints filed through the city Department of Education and the superintendent’s office, her daughter was recommended for a safety transfer, which is for when a child is the victim of a violent offense or it is determined that their presence in the school is unsafe, according to the Chancellor’s Regulations.
“There are no consequences for the bullies,” the mom said, adding that the competitive nature of the school and desire to protect the nationally recognized school’s reputation contribute to the culture.
“It was like, to be successful, you have to destroy whoever you feel like is the big competition,” she said.
Police said youth officers are investigating the October assault.
“Bullying has absolutely no place in our school communities, and we take every report of bullying extremely seriously,” a DOE spokesperson said, adding that the agency took immediate action after the incident.
