A Bolingbrook High School student and her mother say the school isn't addressing an alleged case of bullying that started at school.

Arthur says the student then sent her nude images to other students at Union County High School in South Carolina.

The story split opinions in the community after the teacher resigned, but the student was not disciplined right away.

The 16-year-old student faced a judge and plead guilty to sharing Arthur's photos.
