JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville mother was recently arrested after being accused of giving her daughter a weapon and encouraging her to fight another girl in a bus stop brawl.
Police said the fight between several students turned criminal when police said one girl's mother not only encouraged her daughter to fight another student but also gave her a weapon to beat the other girl.
Johnesia Ervin, 13, told Channel 4 she was walking to her bus stop on Thursday morning when another girl came at her with a stick. Ervin said not only did the girl strike her several times, but she said the girl's mother joined in as well.
"Her momma grabbed me and put my hands behind my back and started beating me and let her daughter hit me," Ervin said.
A picture of Ervin after the fight shows the teen's forehead was scratched and swollen.
"I was upset and scared because they could've beaten her and left her there for death," said Ervin's mother, Felicia Ervin.
According to the arrest report, Cheri Webb's daughter told her mom the night before that she was going to get into a fight with Ervin.
After the fight was over, police said Webb took her daughter to school as if nothing had happened.
Webb was arrested and is charged with aggravated battery.
A Channel 4 news crew tried to get Webb's side of the story, but was confronted by an unidentified man who came out of the house and shoved a cameraman.
"I don't wish no harm on her, but I know she can't be giving her child sticks to be beaten anybody with because that's wrong," said Felicia Ervin.
Webb told police she stepped in to break up the fight after it got out of hand. She denied giving her daughter the stick.
We had a similar case here about a year ago. 2 boys had a fight, one beat the other's ass. The loser goes home and mom gives him a gun to go shoot the winner. The kid did.

A teenager accused of killing a rival on a Central City corner has been indicted by a state grand jury on a charge of second-degree murder along with his mother, who police say handed him the gun and instructed him to get even after he took a beating in a street scuffle, District Attorney Eddie Jordan announced Monday.
Clarence Johnson, 17, and Vanessa Johnson, 44, are scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday in Judge Julian Parker's courtroom at Criminal District Court. The grand jury returned the indictment Thursday.
Police testified at preliminary court hearings that witnesses saw Clarence Johnson and Robert Dawson, 17, get into a fistfight Feb. 7 near the Guste public housing development. Johnson later went to his mother's house at Guste, where a witness allegedly spotted Vanessa Johnson giving her son a handgun and telling him to "go out and get them all."
Witnesses also saw Clarence Johnson shoot Dawson, who suffered eight gunshot wounds, according to homicide detective Ronald Ruiz, who testified at the hearing.
When police searched Vanessa Johnson's home after identifying her son as a suspect, they said, they found a small amount of cocaine and a photograph of her son, Clarence, grinning broadly with a gun in one hand and a wad of cash in another.
NEW ORLEANS -- A mother accused of encouraging her teenage son to kill was released from jail on Friday after nearly two years of incarceration.
Vanessa Johnson was acquitted on felony charges earlier in the week, but remained in custody as federal prosecutors considered whether they would pursue additional counts. U.S. attorney Jim Letten declined, clearing the way for her release.
Investigators said Johnson, 46, provided her son, Clarence, with the gun used in the 2007 shooting of Robert Dawson. Witness statements supported that claim, according to police.
Clarence Johnson was convicted of murder in 2008 and was sentenced to life in prison.
On Tuesday, an Orleans Parish jury found Vanessa Johnson not guilty of second-degree murder.
