A U.S. mother has been arrested for cheering and encouraging her teenage daughter during a school fight.

In video footage released on YouTube, Nicole Morlan cheers and encourages her daughter as she fights another girl in New Mexico.

When a teacher tries to stop the fight, the girls punch her and drag her down.

Morlan, paying no attention to the teacher, continues to encourage her daughter.

The girl said on Facebook that her mother had taught her to stand up for herself, a lesson she would "never forget."
