A video showing a Fleetwood lad being beaten up by a gang of schoolboys has gone viral on social media.



Now it's reported the 12 year old's aunt has pulled him out of Cardinal Allen amid claims he's been bullied.

The film shows the boy pinned to the ground and punched by another boy and was posted on several social media websites.

He goes on to say that it was dealt with promptly in February and the boy responsible was expelled
