The photo quickly went viral.
Many parents were terrified at the idea that a child could become so anxious through bullying that they become sick "over 20 times in an hour."
In her post, Golledge wrote:
"This is what bullying does...
This is my 6 year old daughter, hospitalised, due to bullying...
This is my child with such a caring heart that despite being so ill "doesn't want anyone to get in trouble"...
This is my child who has stopped eating, has cried herself to sleep, had anxiety so severe she's up sick over 20 times in an hour through the night...
This is my child whose 'best friend' has emotionally abused her for so long she thought it was normal...
This is my child who has been in and out of hospital for countless trips due to being so sick with anxiety...
This is my child who was told off for 'telling tales at school'...
This is my child who has been mocked on social media by the bullies parents for just having such a pure heart...
This is my child who when addressing the issues with her school we were told "Its just 6 year olds being 6 year olds"...
This is my child who was told by the school she should be the one feeling ashamed and be snuck in a side door of a morning...
This is my child who her school failed her so badly that we had to move her schools..."
She concluded with an emotional call-to-arms for parents everywhere:
"This is my child who is one of too many that are going through this...
This is my child whose story is being twisted and manipulated by the very people that were meant to protect her at her school when she was in their care...
This is my child who doesn't want this to happen to anyone else. So this is my child's story we are sharing but she is one of many....too many!
Please help us share her story. Lets show her the support her school couldn't afford her.

On Facebook, everyone who saw Sophie's picture offered their support!
No child should have to go through hospital treatment for these reasons.
Her story was shared all over the internet and people everywhere sent their best wishes.
Others helped by sending pictures they thought might cheer Carrie up.
Let's put a stop to bullying once and for all!
