California mom lathered daughter up in Vaseline, encouraged her to fight: report
The New York Daily News ^ | June 6, 2012 | Nina Mandell

A mom in California was arrested after police say she was caught on tape egging her daughter on in a fight against a classmate.

According to police, Darlene Hart, 42, took her middle school daughter to Antelope Park to fight another middle school student, Espie Duran, CBS Sacramento reported.

In a video of the horrifying incident, she can be heard cheering her on.

“That’s right, go get her,” Hart is heard saying as her daughter claws at her classmate. “That’s right. That’s right.”

The fight was broken up after about 90 seconds by a family friend, according to the report — but not before Espie’s shirt was ripped.

Espie’s father, Julian Duran, told the TV station he was furious after learning about the incident.

“She brought her daughter fully in Vaseline up on her face and arms to get her and to beat her and to rip her clothes off, which she did,” he told the TV station.

Hart and her daughter, who was not identified, were arrested and charged with conspiracy, according to the report.

Hart, of course, isn’t the first deranged parent to encourage her child to brawl.

In 2011, a Long Island mom was arrested after she allegedly encouraged her daughter to fight a classmate outside of school.

At the time, Daphne Melin told ABC7 that she was trying to protect her daughter against cyberbullying.

“Nobody is doing anything and they keep doing these hurtful, hurtful things,” she said of her daughter’s alleged bullies.

Late last month, a Georgia woman turned herself into police after allegedly encouraging her daughter to beat up a classmate.

That incident was caught on tape as well.

Well, when I was much younger I saw this little thing go down:
Two kids were really angry at each other and spouted threats at each other on a daily basis.
Well, finally one challenges the other to a fight.
Their parents knew each other and said, “OH, okay. Let’s do this RIGHT.”
The kids were then unceremoniously dumped into a vehicle together and driven to a location where they were then pitted against each other with the parents cheering them on to rumble.
The kids, mortified at their parents, took a few half-hearted jabs at each other before calling it quits.
Long story short, the kids ended up pitifully crying and the parents taught them a bit of a life lesson.

Different world back then though.
We actually did have some moral backing.

And yes, it was a pretty stupid thing to do even back then.
And no vaseline involved either.

Hart and her daughter, who was not identified

That'll do a lot to protect her identity. LOL

I fail to see how this lady or her daughter did anything wrong. If the daughter was being bullied she had every right to fight back.

Gunner, I’m convinced that this sort of thuggery is traceable right back to the Obama administration and Eric ‘Just Us’ Holder. The lynching of George Zimmerman is another indication of this conspiracy to foment race violence. And I’m fed up with the few vermin working FR trying to assist with that lynchmob work.

I am with you. My son was constantly provoked by another boy (that he used to be friends with) for the better part of their first three years of High School. It all culminated with 3 truck loads of "cheer leaders" and the main antagonist showing up at my house one afternoon looking to make good on a threat he had made to my son earlier in the day. My wife called me at work (about an hour drive from the house) to tell me what was going on. I told her to call the police and that I wanted to talk to my son. I told him that it would be OK if he just went in the house and ignored them, but that I understood his “need” to do what had to be done. Long story short, he tooled the kid out real good (much to the chagrin of the video phone taking idiots for a later post on YouTube). I was very proud of him, by my pride aside, he got this kid out of his face once and for all, and believe it or not, a more than mutual respect was restored.

BTW, I purposely didnt use the term “bully”...I dont like it, it ascribes power to a punk. Most kids, not all, but most are @ss5oles until they learn how they should treat other people (many times this lesson come by way of a real good @ss wooping).

We just had a trial in Houston about some cops who beat
the snot out of some little thug after he committed a
felony and then ran from the cops. Even had video of the
beating. Yup, sure enough, beat the snot out of him.

Cop was found innocent.

Oh my wasn’t there an outcry, what a travesty of justice, what blatant racism blah blah blah.

We had us a lively local chat about it on the local radio station’s Facebook page.

I recalled back to the mid-eighties when little old me pissed
off the cops and got the snot beat out of me, with bells on.

Had a lot of sympathy coming at me until I told ‘em I was a white guy.

My older sister used to pinch me, hit me, taunt me, and kick me. After complaining and getting no result, my parents told me to punch her in the nose the next time she bothered me. The problem resolved quite nicely and never returned.

Darlene Hart, 42, took her middle school daughter to Antelope Park

That park is only about five miles from Rio Linda as the crow flies...

So, the ministers avoid it...probably just to keep their job

Sad and true...
