WOONSOCKET — A 36-year-old mother was arrested after getting entangled in a fight between her 14-year-old daughter and a female cousin at a school bus stop Friday afternoon.
Robin L. Sevigny, of 26 Bernice Ave., was charged with simple assault after she allegedly hit and slapped her niece, and then held the girl down while her daughter punched the girl at the corner of Rockland and South Main streets Friday afternoon.
Yea. Ok.
Woonsocket High School Principal George Nasuti said he was informed of the incident yesterday afternoon, and that neither of the students, who have not been suspended, was in school yesterday. Because the fight occurred outside of school grounds and after school hours, it is unclear what role school administrators will take, Nasuti said.
“I don’t know what responsibilities I have for the students,” he said.
Schools Supt. Maureen B. Macera said she will meet with Nasuti today to discuss the fight. She said the incident is further proof that young people need responsible adult role models in the community.
“I think it’s just very sad and unfortunate that adults are contributing to this conduct by not setting good examples,” she said.
Yea. Right.
So this superintendent goes on to suggest that Woonsocket have tax-payer funded parenting classes for shitty parents.
WHAT!?!
My suggestion is Mother-Daughter ‘Ultimate Fighting’ Championships or tag team wrestling for Woonsocket. Another mother daughter brawl happened there on Jan 10th at the middle school. There would be lots of participants and they could fund the parenting classes with ticket sales. It seems like every mother-daughter team in town is ready to brawl anyway. A chain link dome to fight in in some vacant lot won’t take too many tickets to recoup and I think they could have a simultaneous pay-per-view of the event on cable. This has some real $$ potential.
