A mom faces criminal charges after police say she encouraged minors to fight.
On Aug. 5, the Burke County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia announced the arrest of Tila Medlock, 37.
Police said Medlock was accompanied by her minor daughter and singled out a victim. The victim was 10 years old, according to the sheriff’s office.
Medlock told the child that if she wanted to fight her daughter “then get at it,” according to the sheriff’s office.
The two minors then started to fight as Medlock looked on and encouraged it, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies said a man broke up the fight and told Medlock that kids had no business fighting.
Authorities charged Medlock with two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She was then booked into jail.
