A 34-year-old Florida mom came prepared for a fight, boxing glove and all, for a brawl with a teenager.
Edith Riddle was arrested last week after she allegedly fought a student at Dupont Middle School in Jacksonville, where her daughter attends, according to a police report obtained by the New York Daily News.
Riddle and her daughter were meeting with the Dupont vice principal about the younger girl’s “violent outbursts,” then went to the school cafeteria, where the daughter, who has not been publicly identified, went to “engage the victim in a fight,” according to First Coast News.
Riddle’s daughter pushed the victim to the ground and began punching her, and was quickly joined by Riddle herself, witnesses told police.
Riddle had a boxing glove on her left hand, which she claimed was glued on and couldn’t be removed, according to the police report.
The victim suffered abrasions to her knees and forearms and was hospitalized for evaluation.
Riddle was arrested and charged with one count of child abuse with personal/special weapon.
