Mom Attacked by Rival Parent in Front of Kids Speaks Out on Trauma

Mom Attacked by Rival Parent: The woman was attacked by her children in the school's compound, as a rival entry to any school should be beaten out. Three weeks off work had been taken by the trauma, which she said was caused after someone pushed her down. The incident happened to take place in front of a gathering of horrified schoolchildren women pulling this mom by her hair and kneeling on her chest.

“Traumatic experience”

“This has been a complete trauma for all of us,” Harkin told Dailymail. "I have had to pull my three kids out of that school because I never felt we were safe,” she continued, adding, "I have had to take six months off work."

What did the court say?

“This happened near a school and in the presence of children. You were unable to control your behaviour in front of the children. She must have been terrified by being pulled to the floor and kicked by you. There was the use of a shod foot as a weapon,” Recorder Ayesha Siddiqi said during sentencing, reported the Sun. “Your behaviour that day was appalling,” Siddiqi added.
