Cyber bullying of minors on tiktok

Cyber bullying of minors on tiktok

I need an advice / opinion.
A child (12-13 years old) creates text posts on tiktok expressing mean opinions on people (using their real names) from the same year level at school. As I understand, this child has left the school, but continues to post about kids they used to be in the same year level. The content is sexually suggestive, names the school (it’s the user name), names the kids and also does the “shipping” - exposing romantic interests or just randomly “pairing” children. Some kids are upset, and it’s a topic they discuss among each other every day giving this person the clout they seek.
As a parent, I tried to report the account many times - the child is obviously minor, and according to Australian laws shouldn’t even be on social media.
I reported to Esafety Commissioner - they came back saying it’s not serious enough.
I reported to the school as well, they’re dragging their feet. Some kids tried to seek the help directly from the teachers - the response was weak and unsupportive.

Two questions to you - am I overreacting? Is there something I can do to help the kids? Can you help me? I’m desperate.

I’m attaching the screenshot of what the content is like for your judgment.

Thank you!
