Amber Gutierrez, mom breaks up teen fight with her daughter, leaves girl with broken arm VIDEO
A San Pedro woman has been charged with beating up a 12-year-old girl who was a rival of her daughter in an alley fight.
Amber Lee Gutierrez, 33, of San Pedro, California, was charged with felony assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury after she beat a 12-year-old girl who had prearranged a fight with her daughter.
According to police, the 12-year-old and Gutierrez’s daughter had agreed to fight in the alley, but mothers and adults showed up as well and got involved.
Gutierrez was charged on Tuesday with assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury. She is being held on $100,000 bond.
If convicted as charged, Gutierrez faces a possible maximum state prison term of seven years.
The girl suffered a broken arm.
The video, first aired by local station KTLA, allegedly shows Gutierrez dragging the young girl along the ground before punching her across the back in an attack that left the child with a broken arm.
Racial slurs are heard repeatedly on the video, which was recorded on a cellphone by an onlooker.
Prosecutors have not decided whether to charge Gutierrez’s sister, who is also seen in the video throwing punches.
She didn’t “break up” the fight, she was a part of it! Misleading, untrustworthy, and disheartening headline.
