The mother of one of the teens arrested, told WJIXT that her daughter was at the mall with friends to see a movie when another group of kids started bullying them. The mom, who did want to be identified, alleges her child was the one seen in the video getting attacked on the couch.
"They were walking around the mall bullying my daughter and her friends. My daughter and friends (were) minding their own business and the adult and the other girls starting picking on them and saying stuff," the mother said. "The adult spit in my daughter's face."
Police are still investigating the scuffle and are using the videos to identify other people involved.
