A local school district is responding to accusations from parents who say a disturbing uptick in bullying and fights have them worried about their children's safety.

Just days into the new school year, videos of brutal beat downs at Chichester High School have been posted to social media. One of the recordings shows a 9th grader being pummeled on the school bus, other fights have erupted inside school stairwells and classrooms.

Jennifer Frazier, a mother of two at Chichester High School, told FOX 29 that her daughters are currently being bullied by classmates. The torment is so bad that the girls say they're afraid to go to school. The district's superintendent refused to speak to FOX 29 after a Chichester School Board meeting on Tuesday that mainly focused on the topic of school safety. Days later, the district responded, saying they are aware of the videos circulating and claimed many are not from this year.

It seemed like all these fights occurred this year which was not fair. After COVID some students had a difficult time adjusting. we had lower incidents before covid. we had an uptick last year but we have policies and procedures in place like therapists and things like that
