A heartbreaking video captured the moment a 15-year-old student was beaten by her classmates at a school in Brazil.
The girl, whose name has not been revealed, appeared on Tuesday in one of the videos speaking with a student at the Maria Mathilde Castein Castilho state school in Glicério, São Paulo.
The student could be seen grabbing her by the hair and forcing her to walk down the hallway before a second student joined her in the assault and ripped off the victim’s shirt.
The girl who started the beating was seen in a second video dragging the defenseless student into a crowded school yard and punching her before school staff broke up the fight.

Marcia Rocha watched two students beat her 15-year-old daughter at school and forced her way in moments after staff were able to break up the fight. She revealed that doctors suspect her daughter might have autism.
Her mother, Marcia Rocha, witnessed part of the beating, which lasted almost two minutes, after arriving to pick her up at the exit.
‘My daughter was naked in front of everyone. And seeing that scene hurt me, but I couldn’t do anything,’ she told TV Tem. “I felt helpless, I couldn’t save my daughter.”
Rocha said he forced his way into the school and found his daughter crying.
The teen was taken to a local urgent care center and treated for bruising.
Rocha’s husband filed a police report and even considered seeking revenge against the harassers, according to Brazilian newspaper Metrópoles.

School officials at the Maria Mathilde Castein Castilho state school in Glicério, São Paulo, placed the three girls in remote learning while they investigate the beating suffered by a 15-year-old girl, which was caught on camera.
Rocha said her daughter recently received treatment after doctors suspected she had autism.
“Last week I didn’t take it seriously because I thought it was a teenage thing,” the worried mother said. ‘Today, when I arrived, I saw the fight and, until now, I don’t understand.
‘I send my daughter to school with a broken heart, with fear, because she has autism and suffers persecution at school, bullying. “I don’t know who to turn to anymore,” she added.
The Birigui Board of Education opened an investigation. All three students transitioned to remote learning for the remainder of the week.
