Same issue 4+ years later at new school with worse bullies.
Today during after school care there were ants inside the gym in a corner area. Kids were stomping ants, DS10 told them to stop, they didn’t, so he walked away. They thought it was funny it bothered him.
They called him over acting like they were stopping. He said he was suspicious but was wondering what they had planned. One kid grabbed him and held him trying to make him watch while the other kids laughed and stomped on the ants. He punched the kid that was trying to hold him in the face, the kid pushed him down and kicked at him. He says they didn’t hurt each other and they all just avoided each other after that. No authority figure saw anything and no one got in trouble.
