Two women were arrested on May 29 after allegedly beating a 15-year-old girl with a metallic broomstick.
The women — the mother and the aunt of the victim — told deputies that the teen had been helping put away party supplies at their home on Pine Haven Drive when she accidentally knocked a sliding closet door off its track, according to their arrest reports.
The teen told Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies she argued with her mother over the door, but then went into her bedroom. Her aunt followed her in and slapped her across the face for being disrespectful, the teen told deputies.
The teen said she hit her aunt in the chest with a piggy bank in self defense, and her mother came into the bedroom and began striking the teen with a metallic broom handle.
The teen said her mother and aunt both began to pull her hair and hit her with their hands and the broom.
FCSO deputies noted in the arrest reports that the teen had visible injuries on her legs, foot, hands and cheeks, and that some of the marks were consistent with being hit with the broom handle.
