Po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the bloody fight be­tween two moth­ers in front of the Ce­dros Sec­ondary School are al­most com­plete.

A se­nior of­fi­cer con­firmed that both moth­ers had been in­ter­viewed and po­lice were await­ing a med­ical re­port be­fore de­cid­ing on charges.

Re­mind­ing the pub­lic of the TTPS’s ze­ro-tol­er­ance on bul­ly­ing, the of­fi­cer said par­ents must show bet­ter ex­am­ples be­cause they are al­ways be­ing watched by their chil­dren. The par­ents were called to the school on Mon­day to ad­dress a bul­ly­ing com­plaint in­volv­ing their daugh­ters but one of the par­ents be­came ag­gres­sive and was asked to leave.

The sit­u­a­tion es­ca­lat­ed out­side the school. Videos of the in­ci­dent showed the bare­foot­ed women pulling each oth­er’s hair dur­ing the scuf­fle and one of them at­tack­ing the oth­er one with a cut­lass while the oth­er was bleed­ing.

The woman with the cut­lass al­so had a glass bot­tle that even­tu­al­ly fell on the ground and broke. 

A fe­male stu­dent tried to join the fight but was stopped by a man who was try­ing to sep­a­rate the women. 

He al­so stopped an­oth­er man from at­tack­ing one of the women with a car jack.

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Uni­fied Teach­ers As­so­ci­a­tion and the Na­tion­al Par­ent Teacher As­so­ci­a­tion have since con­demned the in­ci­dent.
