Authorities in Douglasville say a mother and her daughter sent a threatening message to 150 middle schoolers after a fight at a park.
On April 15, police say Quantisha Wilson’s daughter got into a physical altercation with a 15-year-old girl at Hunter Park.
During their investigation the next day, police were able to find surveillance video of the fight and confirm that Wilson and her daughter were involved.
The video showed Wilson instruct the girl her daughter was fighting with to apologize and “say she was afraid to fight her,” or Wilson would allow her daughter to beat the girl up again.
“Later that night, Wilson and her daughter ranted on Instagram Live for over two hours, where Wilson continued to threaten the other female,” police said. “At one point, Wilson stated, ‘I will fight a child.’”
The threatening Instagram Live message was sent directly to 150 middle-school students, police said.
Wilson has been charged with one count of misdemeanor terroristic threats, three counts of felony terroristic threats, one count of felony contributing to the delinquency of a minor, one count of felony cruelty to children, simple battery and disorderly conduct.
Police are encouraging parents to attend a parenting class they are offering on May 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Douglasville Public Safety Complex.
“Whatever the reason, parents should be aware of the law and know that there are consequences to their actions, as well as their children’s,” police said.
