A New Jersey mother and grandmother have been arrested for allegedly hitting and screaming at two fourth-grade boys they claim were bullying the woman's daughter.
Twenty-eight year-old Rebecca Sardoni of Toms River and her mother, 51-year-old Stephanie Sardoni of Beachwood were arrested Friday.
The chief of the Toms River Police tells The Asbury Park Press that witnesses say the women boarded a school bus Friday bound for East Dover Elementary School and sought out the boys they claim had been harassing Rebecca Sardoni's 9-year-old daughter.
Rebecca Sardoni allegedly cursed at and slapped two fourth-graders while her mother allegedly screamed at them.
Rebecca Sardoni tells the newspaper she took matters into her own hands after school officials ignored her complaints.
