Mother encourages minors to fight

Carmen Gonzalez, 36, of 267 Morin Heights Blvd. was arrested on Wednesday and charged with assault after police saw footage of a YouTube video in which Gonzalez watches four female minors fight, encouraging the girls, and possibly even pulling one minor's hair. The father of the victim watched the video and alerted police. The video, titled "Fight in the court" was taken on April 26, and was posted by a user that goes by the name "waterbole17." Gonzalez is present throughout the incident, cheering on the girls in two separate altercations. At one point, she appears to break up the fight, only to help her daughter to fix her hair before encouraging her to attack again. The father of the victim showed officers a point in the footage where Gonzalez's actions are slightly blocked, but she appears to be pulling the victim's hair. The father said that his daughter had informed him that Gonzalez had pulled her hair and he wanted to press charges.  The video is attached.
