An Indianapolis mom allegedly barged onto her son\u2019s middle school bus with her teen daughter and beat the boy\u2019s alleged 14-year-old bully so badly that the child suffered a broken nose.<\/p>\n

Latea Hentz, 36, her daughter, 17, and son, 13, were caught on the bus\u2019s security camera and in viral videos taken by students allegedly attacking an eighth-grade student in Warren Township, a suburb of Indianapolis, on March 6, Fox 59 reported, citing court records.<\/p>\n

As the incident unfolds, the Warren Township School bus driver can be heard telling Hentz that no parents are permitted on the bus.<\/p>\n

However, Hentz allegedly tells the driver she is coming on and to call the police as the three of them make their way over to the student.<\/p>\n

Her daughter and son \u201cimmediately started fighting\u201d the eighth-grader, Fox 59 reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeat his a\u2013, beat his a\u2013,\u201d Hentz screamed as she and her children punched the student in the mob attack.<\/p>\n

Hentz and her daughter then allegedly began yelling threats at the other children on the school bus, who were pleading for the trio to stop their attack.<\/p>\n

At one point, the 17-year-old allegedly turned to a 10-year-old girl on the bus and asked if \u201cshe wants some too,\u201d the IndyStar reported, citing court documents<\/p>\n

Hentz and her children stopped beating the eighth-grader as police arrived.<\/p>\n

However, on the way out of the bus, she allegedly made an open threat to other students and said, \u201cI\u2019m going to tear this up\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m tired of you b\u2014h-ass kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

She claimed to police that the victim was bullying her son for several weeks and had slapped him the day before the attack.<\/p>\n

Hentz claimed her son\u2019s school was aware of the bullying but had done nothing to stop it.<\/p>\n

Police said the 14-year-old was beaten so severely by Hentz and her kids that when he was taken to Riley Children\u2019s Hospital for treatment, doctors determined his nose was fractured and his left eye was bruised and swollen.<\/p>\n

He was later interviewed by the Warren Township police child abuse department, where he gave a different account of what happened leading up to and during the March 6 attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
