PALMETTO — The story and video footage of two high school girls brawling in a vacant field, cheered on by dozens of fellow students, made headlines around the nation and the world Thursday.

The mother of one of the girls, 39-year-old April Newcomb, posted a $15,000 bond at 2:30 a.m. Thursday after she was arrested on child abuse charges. She was captured on video encouraging her daughter to fight in the Sept. 17 incident.

The girls squared off in a vacant field near Emerson Point as an estimated 100 other teens watched and yelled in excitement as the two fought over an ex-boyfriend, according to authorities.

You make a good point, what if it was a boy fighting and a mother encouraging?

The mom didn't smoke that joint, the kid did. The mom didn't snort that cocaine, the kid did.

the chick at the bottom had good guard defense she wrapped the chicks leg on top and prevented her from a full mount but her ability to defend the elbows and strikes was her down fall

I noticed her guard defense too. She kept her in half-guard, put the hooks in properly and tried to control movement from the bottom. But yea, her striking for the bottom sucks and she clearly got hit in the face without trying to maintain wrist control or intelligent the defend the strike. I would have called it right there.

It looked really staged to me tho, the girls weren't trying to BEAT THE out of each other like we usually see in fights AND half their ty town was there just watching then ran away when the cops showed up. I think they both had some MMA training or planned to just keep it on the ground.

That's so stupid. They should have arrested everyone else at the scene too who didn't try to stop the fight
