Mom Accused Of Joining Daughter In Beating

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville, Fla., mother was recently arrested after being accused of giving her daughter a stick and joining her in beating another girl in a bus stop brawl.

Johneishia Ervin, 13, told WJXT-TV in Jacksonville that 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.

"I don't wish no harm on her, but I know she can't be giving her child sticks to be beating 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.
