A Florida mom showed up to her daughter’s middle school with a boxing glove — and allegedly attacked a student, authorities said.
Edith Riddle, 34, of Jacksonville, was arrested on a child abuse charge stemming from the alleged beatdown last week at Dupont Middle School, news station KVUE reported.

Police said that school safety officer had heard a “frantic” announcement over the school’s radio system about a fight outside the cafeteria around noon on March 18.
When the officer got there, he found Riddle in a physical altercation with a female student.
Riddle had been on campus for a meeting with the vice-principal and her daughter, cops said.
Rather than exit the building, the daughter made a beeline after for the cafeteria to fight a girl, police said.
Witnesses told police Riddle’s daughter shoved the girl and threw some punches — before the mom also allegedly began walloping the victim.
Bizarrely, a bystander told authorities the mom appeared to have a boxing glove attached to her left hand.
Riddle already had the glove on when she arrived to campus — insisting that it was super glued to her wrist and she couldn’t remove it, according to KVUE.
