Sure sounds like bullying. If this happened at school you should review the school & district policies regarding such matters. A lot will depend on total circumstances...number of previous incidents...or her child's age & disciplinary history.

Notify the school authorities, and the other child's parents. This is most inappropriate and must not be allowed. It is doubtful there is any civil cause of action against the aggressor but if the behavior continues there might be a juvenile court issue.
