Parents Accused of Encouraging Fight
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A mother and father are facing charges they encouraged their 13-year-old daughter to fight another girl. Debra Sue Grubb, 33, is charged in Kanawha County Magistrate Court with misdemeanor battery after allegedly forcing her daughter Gabrielle to fight 14-year-old Megan Willis near the Grubbs' home on August 15, Trooper J.M. Comer said Wednesday.
At one point, Grubb allegedly grabbed her daughter by the arm and used her daughter's body as a weapon to knock Megan to the ground.
Thomas Leon Grubb, 35, is charged with misdemeanor assault. Comer said Grubb is accused of threatening to harm two boys who were with Megan if they tried to break up the fight.
"It turned into a mess," Comer said. "The two parents allowed this to happen when it should have been handled by the parents."
Megan suffered cuts to her mouth and foot. Gabrielle was not injured.
Comer said the two girls had been clashing with each other for some time over "just kid things. You know, one is a cheerleader, one is not ... childish stuff that should have ended long before this."
