Sims discovered her daughter was being bullied in late September. So, like any parent would do, she reached out to school officials for help. But she received nothing.
"The thing that bothers me the most is that I am yet to get a response from anyone in the administration," Sims added.
After being shrugged off by the school, Sims decided that she would take matters into her own hands and catch her 9-year-old daughter's bully.
"I tried to be fair, but it's not fair," said Sims. "There is nothing fair about this."
She wanted to obtain proof that nothing was being done to help her 4th-grader, so she put a digital recorder in her backpack to capture audio from inside the classroom.
"If I'm not getting an answer from you, what am I left to do?" she asked.
Comment: The West likes to tout issues such as this as an attack on 'civil liberties' and 'freedom', but in reality China has had to use strong measures to retain it's sovereignty against Western propaganda.
