The mother, who asked not to be identified in order to protect her son's identity, said she wanted to raise concerns about school fights after her son was attacked inside the school toilets last week.

It is alleged that the learner was lured to the toilet by a group of children on the school grounds who called him to the ablution facilities.

The mother described in horror and shock after hearing that her son's attacker bit and ripped off a piece of his earlobe and merely spat out the human flesh after the bloody incident.

"The incident happened on 20 March. My son is in Grade 7 and so is the attacker," she explained.

"There are different stories about what led up to this and it's very confusing but I can only tell what my son told me.
