This is disturbing to me.  No wonder a lot of today's children get the wrong message.  This mother used poor judgement in the way she decided to stand up for her child.  I agree she has every right to be very angry and concerned, but please, she's the adult, and there are better ways to educate a bullying child other than to beat them up....especially if you are the adult.

OHIO WOMAN CONVICTED OF ASSAULT IN CLASSROOM BRAWL.

CINCINNATI (AP) - A jury on Friday convicted an Ohio woman of assault but acquitted her of trespassing in a high school classroom brawl involving her daughter and another teen accused of bullying the girl.

Jurors reached that unanimous verdict after three days of testimony in the trial of Precious Allen, who had pleaded not guilty in the Feb. 7 fracas involving her daughter and a 15-year-old girl at Withrow High School in Cincinnati.

Judge Melissa Powers sentenced Allen, 31, to probation, but said she could face up to six months in jail if she violates the terms. If convicted on both counts, Allen could have faced a year of jail time.

In finding Allen guilty of assault, jurors agreed with prosecutors that she knowingly caused or helped cause harm to the 15-year-old. In rejecting the trespassing charge, jurors sided with defense attorneys that Allen likely did not go to the school that day intending to commit an assault.
