Poor kid, may Allah (swt) ease her pain- ameen. I'm disturbed by the fact that this was going on regularly and the teachers and parents had no idea. Even if the teachers are on their break when it happens, children are still supposed to be supervised in the playground by staff. Someone, somewhere failed in their duty to keep track of them. Unfortunately I know in some schools they employ some completely useless people (some who even do more harm than good) as lunchtime supervisors as it's cheaper to employ someone unqualified and they're not bound by similar training/regulations because they aren't involved in an active teaching role themselves. Sure they shouldn't be expected to go through years of teacher training but that doesn't mean they can get away with doing a terrible job either.
My suspicion is that they were the weak link in the running of the school. I could be wrong though, sometimes it's the fault of a class teacher or a poorly run school. Some schools like to turn a blind eye to horrific forms of bullying and attempt a cover up to protect the school's reputation rather than hold anyone accountable. I've seen this happen to kids a few times myself although that was more in the context of general bullying, alhamdullilah I've not yet had to deal with sexual abuse type incidents among the pupils I dealt with.
