A furious mother threatened to punch a teacher and break his legs after he gave a detention to her daughter.
The mum called up Samworth Academy in Leicester when her daughter was given the punishment and asked the teacher responsible: "Why do you keep bullying my daughter?"
When the educator tried to respond, the woman - who has not been named to protect her daughter's identity - threatened to "punch his teeth down his throat" if he spoke to her daughter in a similar manner again.
The teacher hung up, which prompted her to call back and demand his attention from a receptionist, Leicester Mercury reported .
“He’s hung up on me," the mum told the member of staff.
“I’m going to come down that school and kick his teeth out.
“I’ll break his legs.”
At Leicester Magistrates’ Court on Friday she pleaded guilty to making a communication conveying a threatening message.
Prosecutor Sukhy Basi said: “During the course of a police interview she said her daughter came home from school angry after receiving detention.
“She did admit she made physical threats in order to scare the teacher.
“The teacher has asked for a restraining order.”
Helen Morris, mitigating, said that the woman had been taking medication on the day of the verbal barrage.
She said: “She accepted she had said those words and the offence was made to scare the teacher but she had no intention of carrying it out.
"She has been diagnosed with a personality disorder and takes mood stabilisers.
"She has admitted she has a tendency to fly off the handle and that’s perhaps why she’s reacted in the over-the-top way she did.
“She doesn’t believe she had taken her medication that day.”
The woman's teenage daughter believed she had been punished twice for the same incident, Mrs Morris told the court, which led to the woman's reaction.
The chair of the bench, Elizabeth Needham, told the woman: “It was the heat of the moment, however people in schools are there to work with you.
"It’s a great responsibility educating the young and they need the support of the people at home.
“We’re going to ask you to pay compensation to the person you abused.”
The woman was ordered to pay £100 compensation to the teacher and a £50 fine.
She was also given a 12-month restraining order preventing her from contacting the teacher or going to the school without being invited.
