I used to live in Ireland and I know that they take bullying
very seriously there. I have seen bullying cases reported on the national news and often covered in the national newspapers.
When bullying is reported, the school administration is required to act and if it is serious enough, Social Welfare and the Police will become involved.
I can imaging Phoebe and her parents being completely confused by the situation. The problem had been reported to the authorities and it was the authorities duty to act - at least in Ireland, but nothing happened.
I don't think that they knew what to do next, so they did nothing.
