PARENTS SEEN THROWING PUNCHES IN HUGE FIGHT FILMED IN SCHOOL CORRIDOR IN WEST MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS 11:51, 31 May 2025 Screams from frightened children can be heard in the background as punches
are thrown in a huge brawl at a junior school. Kids were pleading “stop” in the video as parents exchanged blows in the fight, while others rushed to get their children away from the violent
scenes in a corridor at an elementary school. An official from the school described the behaviour as “unacceptable” as a warning was issued by the local police force. The fracas broke out
at a graduation event being held at Faulk Elementary, in West Memphis, Arkansas. READ MORE: Birmingham parents warned over £100 fines and even court as they 'endanger lives'
outside schools People were filmed fighting in a crowded hallway with flurries of punches thrown and others also stepping in to try and break them up. From the video it appeared as though
two taller men were trying to separate the fighting women, but they then began throwing punches in the melee. Article continues below No injuries have been reported as a result of the brawl
and it is not known what caused it in the first place. One woman, though, believes that those responsible need to be held accountable. “It shouldn’t be happening around children, especially,
and these are grown folks at a kids’ graduation. It shouldn’t be happening at all,” she said. “All of them need to be held accountable for it. Everybody who’s involved. That’s what I think
about it.” West Memphis School District Superintendent Eric Foister said police have the names of the people involved. “We have our own camera system with sound. So we have gathered all
that. Obviously, we are a small community, so we have the names,” Mr Foister told Fox 13 Memphis. He said the school district had given the names of five people allegedly involved in the
fighting to West Memphis Police and that they will work with the force over the case - but no arrests have been made so far. “The safety and security of our students, staff, and school
campuses remain our top priority. We have zero tolerance for any behavior by parents, students, staff, or visitors that disrupts the learning environment or threatens the well-being of
anyone on school grounds,” West Memphis School District said. Article continues below Mr Foister blasted the fighting and said it was setting a bad example for the children. He said: “You
come into our buildings and you put the safety and well-being of our students and staff in jeopardy, I’m going to hold you to the fullest accountability, I am working with our local law
enforcement, and I’m going to press any and all charges that I can.” He added that the culprits had been banned from the school. “I’m also going to ban you from our school property. The only
way, if you’re a parent, you can have access to obviously dropping your kid off and picking your kid up,” Foister said. “We’re not going to; I don’t want to punish the child for the
parents’ action.”
