Guess the rules for after school fights need to be updated. No weapons, no biting and no MOMs.

Mom Arrested For Encouraging Son To Fight
Renee Honnold Drove Her Son To The Fight And Got Involved Herself

(CBS13) FOLSOM, Calf. A mother was arrested for helping her 13-year-old son start a fight. Police say she drove him to the fight and pushed him on.

If you're a parent, you'll find this hard to believe. Two kids were having an argument across the street from a middle school. They agree to settle it after school. One of those kids gets into his mom’s car after school and says to her, “I have a fight take me to the gas station.” She not only drives him to the fight but she encourages it and ultimately, gets involved herself.

Gayle Williams saw the fight and tried to stop it.

“I saw this woman get out of the car. She was sitting there the whole time,” said Gayle.

It was the bigger kid’s mom, 37-year-old Renee Honnold of Folsom.

“I tell you, I wanted to beat the crap out of her, but that’s not the way you handle things,” said Gayle.

Gayle stepped in to stop the out-of-control mom.

“I said ‘if you go near that child again, you’re going to have to deal with me,’” said Gayle. “She said bring it on.”

“It doesn’t surprise me. It actually shocks me when this occurs,” said Kurt Knudsen, Folsom Police Department.

Mike: What kind of mother does this?

Kurt: Your right, I can’t answer that on camera.

Kim Williams, the mother of the victim meets Gayle, hearing about what so many experienced in person or on tape.

It's not just the woman Renee’s actions that are hard to believe. Kim just left the middle cool where a bomb was dropped about her son: he's suspended for five days.

You have the victim who is suspended, the other kid who beat him up and the mother arrested and forcing charges with child abuse and contributing to a minor and out of jail after a few hours.
