A 10-year-old girl is urging people to stop bullying one another by sharing her own heartbreaking story in a video that’s now gone viral.
Cassidy Slater, a fourth-grader at John Adams Elementary School in Scranton, Pa., shared the video on Facebook. In it, she’s holding up signs that tell the story of how she’s been bullied since first grade.
“One day during recess, a group of kids grabbed my purse off a teacher, and spit on it and me,” one of her signs reads. She goes on to explain that kids have hit and kicked her, pulled her hair and won’t sit with her at lunch.
Since posting, Slater’s video was flagged by another Facebook user and her account was shut down, according to her mom, Jenn. But before it was removed, the video had over 160,000 likes and thousands of shares, ABC News reports.
Jenn has since re-posted her daughter’s video, which has also received a large amount of views, likes and shares. It's become so popular it caught the attention of Hugh Jackman, who shared it on his own page.

We send our kids to public (and private) schools with the expectation that they'll be safe from violence and this sort of assault. Do we not pay for that safety and our children have a right to it?
