Via WWLTV- NEW ORLEANS — Screams and confusion filled an Eisenhower Elementary School bus when a woman got on board to confront a 9-year-old boy.
“You took matters into your own hands and decided to beat on my 9-year-old son!” Ashley Batiste, the young boy’s mother, said through tears. “He was scared for his life so he tried to fight back!”
The fight broke out on the ride home on Feb. 4. Police say Patrice Henry entered the bus after getting a call from her child’s school saying that the 9-year-old allegedly hit her kindergarten aged son in the face.
When the bus approached the intersection of North Roman and Allen, Henry “boarded the bus and immediately asked ‘who hit my son’ and that the children pointed at the boy” according to the police report.
The police report went on to say that Henry “wrapped her hand around his neck area and struck him with a closed fist.”
