The clip starts with the bully dragging Demmi by her hair across concrete paving and hitting her in the back of her head nine times as Demmi screams out in pain.
The boy filming can be heard sniggering and shouts: "Go on, stamp her. Go on, level her man."
Demmi, dressed in her school uniform, bursts into tears and the attacker stands over her and taunts her, asking: "Why are you crying?
"Bringing s**t into my family, you are getting banged. I told you I was going to bang you."
Another boy then shouts: "Now bang her fully. You got to get her in the face, you ain't got her in her face yet. Until she's got a proper lip."
The bully shouts: "I keep kicking her, I can't get her face."
The boy responds: "Stand on her foot and just go 'bang' into her jaw."
The video then shows four young boys watching on and jeering at Demmi, telling her to get up.
When she says: "I don't want to," the thug girl mocks her, saying: "Aww, poor Demmi scared? Come on, stand up. I will kick you in the head for about an hour."
After Demmi says: "Just leave me alone," the yob grabs her by the hair again before brutally punching her in the head six times as Demmi writhes around in pain on the floor.
As her victim sits crying, the older bully stands over her and says: "Did I just bang you or did I not?"
Demmi says: "Yes you did."
A Staffordshire Police spokeswoman said: "We are aware of a video clip being circulated on Facebook of an assault that took place in Amington, Tamworth.
"The local policing team are investigating after a 13-year-old girl was assaulted yesterday afternoon."
"Officers are treating the matter seriously and taking positive action and the victim's mother is fully supportive of Staffordshire Police's investigation.
"The victim was treated in hospital for minor injuries and is recovering at home safe and well.
"The suspect has been identified and will be interviewed."
Speaking today Demmi's mum Louise Coplin said: "Demmi is shaken but she's okay.
"There were loads of rumours saying she had brain injuries but that's not true.
"She has bruising and a few cuts to her face.
"The police are dealing with it."
Commenting on the sickening footage, Nikki McAulay said: "This is absolutely disgusting - that poor girl. My stomach was churning watching it.
"I am so glad she has a good family to look after her after this horrible attack. I hope those little vile creatures are proud of themselves.
"They will go far in life with that kind of behaviour, I'm sure"
Michael Ainsworth wrote: "Fingers crossed that those vile people get what they deserve. Hold your head high Demmi.
"It seems like the whole nation are right behind you"
Kerry Hancock added: "Glad the police are involved it was a vicious attack it made me very cross and upset that a child is subject to this violence.
"I hope you get it all sorted and Demmi can continue with her education and childhood happy"
