A Melbourne teenager is still too traumatised to return to school four weeks after she was beaten and had her head stomped on in a 'horrific' attack.
The 13-year-old girl's father has spoken out about the May 19 schoolyard attack at St Francis Xavier College's Beaconsfield campus in the city's south-east outskirts, which has left his daughter fearing the teens will come after her again.
Footage which has since gone viral on social media shows the teen surrounded by a group of girls who pull her hair, kick and punch her before she's pushed to the ground.
The girl can be heard lying on the ground screaming for help as she is stomped on repeatedly as several teachers try to break up the brawl.

The teen's father says the sickening footage was heartbreaking to watch.
'These girls are at school and my daughter is at home scared to go to school, she is getting calls to be beaten again,' he posted on a public Facebook group.
'I haven't seen this video much been father it hurts to hear your daughter crying for help but not being present upsets me.'
He told the Cranbourne Leader his daughter was confronted by a group of Sudanese girls at lunchtime who began kicking her and stomping on her head.
'My daughter is too scared to go back to school now and she has been getting threats from the girls that they will go after her again,' he said.
'A lot of her hair was pulled out, she had severe bruising, a concussion and she's just not coping.'
The schoolyard attack happened in May at St Francis Xavier College's Beaconsfield campus in Melbourne on May 19
The father has reported the incident to police and fears his daughter or another student will be attacked unless action is taken.
'This is happening far too often in the schoolyard and it needs to stop now,' he said.
Victoria Police confirmed an alleged assault at the school has been reported and are investigating.
'No arrests have been made at this stage,' a spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia.
