A Mom Is Facing Felonies After Fighting Son’s Bully On A Schoolbus

Latea Hentz, a 36-year-old Indianapolis mother, is facing felony charges after boarding a school bus to confront and physically assault a student she believed was bullying her son. The incident occurred on March 6 and was captured in a viral video. Prosecutors say Hentz and her 17-year-old daughter entered the bus, where Hentz allegedly broke the student’s nose and caused other injuries. A day before, the two students reportedly had a dispute involving racist remarks. Prosecutor Ryan Mears emphasized that violence is not the answer and that adults should help children navigate conflicts constructively. The school district has also condemned the act, reinforcing that unauthorized individuals will not be allowed to interfere in student matters. Authorities are investigating whether additional people involved will face charges. The case has sparked a larger conversation about how schools and families handle bullying.
