A California woman was caught on video egging on her 13-year-old daughter to hit another 13-year-old.

Now, the woman is wanted on felony child abuse charges, Turlock police Sgt. Russ Holeman said.

“It’s after school, you can’t get in trouble, it’s after school,” the woman is heard yelling in the video.

The fight happened Friday after the 13-year-old girls finished classes at Turlock Junior High School, officials said.

The victim said she was being bullied by the other girl. After the bus ride home, the bully told the victim to stop talking about her.

When the teens arrived at Columbia Park, the bully’s mother egged on a fight, the victim said.

“She came out of nowhere and said to punch me,” the victim explained.

In cellphone video, shot by another student, the woman is seen grabbing the victim’s shoulders while her daughter hits the victim.

“I couldn’t help her at the moment, I was devastated,” said Alicia Acuna, the mother of the alleged victim.

After the video was posted on Facebook, the 13-year-old was arrested for battery, Holeman said. Officers are now searching for the woman.

“I don’t blame the girl; I blame the mother,” Acuna said.

The woman is facing a felony charges related to false imprisonment, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child abuse, Holeman said.

Even though the incident did not happen at Turlock Junior High School or on school grounds, the Turlock Unified School District said students can be disciplined for incidents that happen going to and from school.

“Like most who have viewed this video, we were appalled by this attack,” the school district said in a statement. “We have identified those shown in the video and have shared this information with the Turlock Police Department who are conducting an investigation. Fortunately, we were able to make contact with the family of the victim and our TJHS Dean of Students has followed up with them. TUSD would like to thank those who reached out to us on social media with their concerns which allowed us to quickly address this terrible incident.”
