A couple is accused of forcing their daughter to fight a schoolmate.

According to police, Debra Sue and Thomas Leon Grubb were arrested for allegedly forcing their daughter Gabrielle to fight 14-year-old Megan Willis near their home.

The mother, charged with battery, allegedly grabbed her daughter by the arm and used her body as a weapon to knock Megan to the ground.

The father is also accused of threatening to harm two boys who were with Megan if they tried to break up the fight. He is now charged with assault.

The fight, which was the outcome of an ongoing conflict between two girls, took place on July 22 while the complaint was filed Aug. 15.

Trooper J.M. Comer told the Associated Press that the two girls were fighting over "childish things."

"The two parents allowed this to happen when it should have been handled by the parents," he added.

While Megan suffered minor injuries to her mouth and foot, Gabrielle was not injured.
