Florida woman arrested for throwing cayenne pepper powder into the eyes of her daughter's bullies, aged 8 and 11
46-year-old Simmone James was arrested on October 1 after the attack and has been charged with two counts of child abuse, battery, and disruption of school functions
A woman in Florida, who claims her daughter was bullied by two girls aged 8 and 11, was arrested for reportedly throwing a homemade mix of cayenne pepper powder and salt onto the girls' faces, reports Daily Mail. After the attack, 46-year-old Simmone James was taken into custody on October 1 and was charged with two counts of child abuse, battery, and disruption of school functions. The alleged bullies (two girls) were left screaming in pain and clutching their eyes after the incident.
James later told the Cocoa Police that the children she had "seasoned" tormented her daughter in the school for about three months and this led her to do what she believed she had to do at that time as she walked her child to school one day.
