Police said a Maryland mother entered a middle school earlier this week then confronted and grabbed the arm of her daughter’s alleged bully — a 12-year-old girl. The mother in question is now charged with assault.
What are the details?
Police said Aberdeen Middle School staff let 41-year-old Kelly Sadik into the building around 8:15 a.m. Tuesday via the outside intercom, WBAL-TV reported.
But instead of going to the office, police told WBAL that Sadik — accompanied by her child — broke rules by going to the seventh-grade area of the school where the mom confronted a 12-year-old girl over alleged harassment of her daughter, after which a verbal confrontation escalated.
Sadik accused the girl of bullying her daughter, police told WJZ-TV.
“At that time, the student tried to turn and walk away,” Sgt. Jason Neidig of the Aberdeen Police Department told WBAL. “And the parent grabbed ahold of the student’s arm, leaving a pretty nice sized red mark and bruise on that arm.”
Officials added to WBAL that a teacher saw what happened and immediately intervened.
Sadik was charged with second-degree assault and trespassing, WBAL said. She’s due in court in May, WJZ added.
