Her mother Carole Pluckrose went to the school with the evidence

Phoebe's parents noticed that she had become more withdrawn and complained of having headaches. She also did not want to go to school.

Fortunately, Phoebe had kept her tormenters' evidence by not wiping the text messages from her phone.

Her mother Carole Pluckrose said: "It was good to have the evidence. She was sensible enough to hold on to the messages, so we could go straight into school and say, 'listen, this is what happened.'"

The bullies were tackled quickly and effectively. They were put under close supervision by the teachers and the school and bullying immediately stopped.
