Bullying

Hello I'm looking for some advice.

My sister is in secondary school, she has a cousin in her year group.
Unfortunately there has been a falling out with some family members a while back (nothing to do with my Parents, sister or myself) that has resulted in this cousin constantly bullying my sister and putting others up to doing it.
This has led to my sister (age 12) taking an overdose and having quite a few months of school.

My sister has been back at school for a few weeks, couple hours a day and the bullying is still happening.

My mother has tried speaking to the girls parents to resolve the issue, the mother does not care and has such an attitude and has got her mother involved again. This has escalated into another argument, both adults make fun that my sister is suicidal and other things. There is no reasoning with these people, the school does not seem to care either.
We can see that the bullying is clearly coming from the adults, passed onto the child.
What other action can be taken?
There seems to be no help or guidance, apart from taking my sister out of the school and moving away 😔

Does she have other friends? If not, at that stage of her education I'd be making enquiries at other schools and looking into a managed move/in year transfer.

I wouldn't move house but I'd be telling my sis to block them all on apps etc so they can't get to her if she leaves the school.

I forgot to add, the argument between my Mam and the 2 adults led to them phoning the police on my mother (she is waiting for them to show up as she was out when they did)
And the girls Mother phoning the school.

They are acting like the victims when it's my sister or is truly suffering from the non stop bullying.

She doesn't have a lot of friends, she rarely goes out which worry's me.

Yes I suggested that my Mam looks at another school for her because she was talking about homeschool my sister (which I didn't agree
on)

This sounds awful, your poor sister, have school helped in any way at all?
I would provably look into moving schools.
