dd13 met up with some friends, 2 other boys and 2 girls. One is her BFF. One of the boys tripped her up deom
behind. Then the other boy started to things like he would ‘tap that’ and making reference to her bum. She told him to shut up and he hit her on the back of her head. She then left them and came home. She says that they shouted out as she left. All the while her ‘friend’ made feeble attempts telling them to stop. They had apparantly done similar to her too, however dd says she treats it like a joke and perceives it as flirting. Aibu to think this is absolutely not flirting and is abuse? Or am I completely out of touch?

This kind of behaviour was common in my high school in the 90s. There used to be a narrative, that it meant a boy liked/fancied you. This was backed up in movies and TV.
I'm glad that your DD recognised it for what it is and removed herself.
