Hair-pulling brawl erupts at KINDERGARTEN graduation ceremony after mom, 28, was accused of hogging seats

A wild brawl broke out at an Ohio kindergarten graduation after a woman was accused of taking up too many seats and blocking other parents' views on their children's big day.

Craig Mays, one of the parents attending the Thursday morning ceremony at Queen of Apostles School, said the fight started when a separate family grabbed their own chairs and began creating their own seating space.

That made his daughter's mother unable to see, causing the confrontation to escalate with 28–year–old Jessica Anderson, who was seated just behind them at the ceremony in Toledo, about 240 miles north of Columbus, near the border with Michigan.

'The girl behind me she's just talking, just cussing, talking crazy,' Mays told WTVG. 'Calling us weird and saying we need to mind our business.'

After a brief argument, Mays said Anderson's family of ten – five men and five women in the first two rows – suddenly attacked them.

'I literally don't remember anything,' Mays said. 'I just know I was sucker punched.'

Mays said a group of four or five men began kicking him in the head when he was on the ground, prompting his daughter's mother to intervene and begin fighting with Anderson.

'She grabbed my kid's mom by her hair, pulled her away from me, started punching her face then maybe five or six other girls came and trampled her and were just stomping her, kicking her in the face,' Mays added.

That makes me thing this entire thing is either staged, or totally out of context and has nothing to do with the real event...all to get clicks. I call BS.

When I wuz a kid in the South in the middle 50s, I went to a private Kindergarten [the public schools didn’t have that Grade] in a [large] private home.

We had to check our cap gun belts on a chair in the hall.

Ha...I did not even go to kindergarden...started 1st grade as my sister started kindergarden. And I find this graduation before 12th grade ridiculous.

When did this graduating from kindergarten begin? I don’t remember learning a lot in kindergarten. We had some crackers and took naps. I do remember making a paper rabbit ears for Easter.

The only ones I had were high school, college and police academy. They had Dean’s list ceremonies every semester that I was eligible for, but I never went to them. I was too busy working or doing homework.

Parents who would celebrate a kindergarten graduation are the kind of Parents who would fight at a kindergarten “graduation.”

But where else would they get a graduation photo when their children are shot while committing a felony or drive by?

A kindergarten graduation makes about as much sense as a dog wedding.

Hey, this could be the pinnacle of academic achievement for a lot of these kids. Don’t want to miss seeing it.

Great one.
