    If kids can’t be expected to not bully others then what can the adults do? If a child bears no responsibility for their behaviour then how do you get them to change? I really don’t understand.

      Educate the bully, punish the bully, remove opportunities for the bullying, whatever your preferred method. The onus is on the adults to prevent or put a stop to the bullying. The fact that things escalated as much as they did means that none of them stepped in, and that failure is on them.
