Greater Manchester Police confirmed officers are investigating the incident and had been in touch with the victim and her family.
The Mum said she believes her daughter could have died and was left with a broken nose, two black eyes, an injury the size of a fist to her back, and cuts and bruises.
She says her daughter has autism, ADHD, and is partially sighted, and was on her way to McDonald's after school last Wednesday.
Mum said she usually picked her daughter up from school, but had allowed her to have the excursion now she is growing older.

The mum said a "gang" of girls followed her to the fast food joint near the school taunting her.
The victim then went and found her older sister and was leaning against street railings when the girls caught up with her.
The mum said: "At first they were all saying 'do you think you could fight', she was saying 'I don't want to fight'.
"She couldn't even defend herself, they dragged her to the floor and were stamping on her, kicking her in the head. They were punching her, no-one helped her. I was physically sick when I watched the video."
The mum said eventually security ran over and helped her daughter before alerting her.
A fundraiser has now been launched to raise money for the victim, with proceeds going towards Taylor Swift concert tickets and a night away.
