Exclusive: A mother is calling for her daughter's alleged attackers to be charged after disturbing videos of the latest incident of school bullying in Sydney emerged.

The girl was lured to a shopping centre by a classmate after school, where dozens of young onlookers recorded her as she was allegedly viciously bashed and stomped on.

"She punched me in the back of my head. I dropped to the floor and that's when she stomped on my head," the girl told 9News.

"I have a black eye, concussion, holes in the back of my head from my earrings, a couple of scratches on me.

The young student was hospitalised with a blackened eye and multiple head injuries.

"When I got there I saw my daughter on the floor," the girl's mother said, breaking down in tears.

"Sorry. She was unconscious on the floor and she wasn't moving."

Her mother claims teachers at the school have told her the bully won't be punished because the attack didn't happen on school grounds.

She's speaking out after seeing a similar incident at Kingsgrove North High, which saw three students charged.

"Those girls that did that to her got arrested and charged for their actions and I believe this should happen for my daughter," the Sydney mother said.
