Jan. 25--A mother and daughter allegedly beat up and stabbed a Chicago Public Schools administrator and security guard when picking up a relative at an Englewood elementary school earlier this week, a prosecutor said Saturday.
Debbie Wilson, 45, of the 6900 block of South Racine Avenue, and her daughter, also named Debbie Wilson, 26, of the 5600 block of South Wood Street, were both charged with aggravated battery to a school employee. The elder Wilson was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bail, and her daughter was ordered held in lieu of $125,000 bail in Cook County court Saturday.
The Wilsons went to Carrie Jacobs Bond Elementary School, 7050 S. May St., on Tuesday to pick up a relative for a disciplinary issue when they saw the girl walking with a school administrator and a verbal altercation broke out, said Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Reginald Newton.
At one point during the altercation, the younger Wilson pulled out a 4-inch knife, and the school administrator, 39, was stabbed in the back, while a security guard, 50, was stabbed in the forearm. A 13-year-old minor who got involved was also cut with the knife.
Meanwhile, the elder Wilson beat the school staff with her hands and fists, Newton said.
The three victims required stitches, Newton said, and the Wilsons fled the scene but were arrested Thursday after being identified in a photo line-up, according to court documents.
After Saturday's bond hearing, some of the Wilsons' relatives cried, saying the charges were unfair.
Rhonda Wilson, the elder Wilson's other daughter, said her family relies on her mother to take care of a younger relative who has cerebral palsy. She said the arrests and charges were "all wrong."
The Wilsons have another court date Thursday.
