The mother claims another girl is threatening to bring a knife to school and that students are texting her daughter threats.

“My daughter has been slapped, threatened. She has been bullied several times over the last seven months- plus actually," Ashley Rivera told NBC10 Boston. She added that she has contacted the school several times but hasn't been satisfied with their response.

Leicester Public Schools say they were aware of the fight, but hadn’t seen the video, and handled the situation according to school policy.

Their superintendent tells us, “The safety of our students and staff is a top priority and we will do everything possible to provide a safe learning environment.”
