A mum's devastating post detailing what her daughter went through at the hands of bullies has gone viral after she shared it on social media.
Carrie Golledge, from Devon, shared a picture of six-year-old Sophia on Facebook, along with a heartbreaking message.
"This is my child who has stopped eating, has cried herself to sleep, had anxiety so severe she's up sick over 20 times in an hour through the night. This is my child whose 'best friend' has emotionally abused her for so long she thought it was normal," she wrote.

"This is my child who has been in and out of hospital for countless trips due to being so sick with anxiety. This is my child who was told off for 'telling tales at school'. This is my child who has been mocked on social media by the bullies parents for just having such a pure heart.
"This is my child who when addressing the issues with her school we were told 'Its just 6 yearolds being 6 year olds'. This is my child who was told by the school she should be the one feeling ashamed and be snuck in a side door of a morning.
"This is my child who her school failed her so badly that we had to move her schools. This is my child who is one of too many that are going through this.

"This is my child whose story is being twisted and manipulated by the very people that were meant to protect her at her school when she was in their care. This is my child who doesn't want this to happen to anyone else. So this is my child's story we are sharing but she is one of many....too many!"
In a more recent post, Carrie revealed her daughter has since moved schools and is doing better.
She added: "I have been inundated with such amazing messages from people that I don't even know and I am trying to get through them all. You are all incredible I'm restoring our faith in people that has been stripped from us over the last couple months."
