Pittsburgh Police have charged a second person who is accused of attacking a teacher after following her.
The children of Watkins told media outlets that the daughter allegedly bit her during the confrontation over her cellphone. Then, she had a parent-teacher conference, and, according to her family members, Williams threatened Watkins.
Williams and Beasley are accused of following the teacher home from school before attacking her with a brick and beating her. Watkins was hospitalized with a broken tooth and head pain.
Beasley “pulled her head back by yanking her hair,” police told WXPI. ”The male did then join in on the attack, using kicks and punches to the body and face of Ms. Watkins,” according to the criminal complaint.
An attorney for Beasley says that he didn’t assault Watkins, and he pulled “them apart to stop them from a fight.” Williams also allegedly told her, “I told you I was gonna get you.”
Williams is facing aggravated assault, stalking, terroristic threats, and reckless endangerment charges.
The family of Watkins is telling a different story.
“My heart goes out to the child because what has that mother taught that child? Whatever it is, you solve it with violence,” Davis said.
The family alleges that Williams told her, “I’m going to get you,” during the meeting.
The husband said that Watkins had to go to another hospital after suffering headaches and concussion-like symptoms.
He’s “sad and disappointed that people would go to such lengths against another human being over something so petty,” CBS reported. “I think she can teach again, but she definitely should look for another place to go teach,” said the husband.
