A playground brawl at a Mandarin apartment complex caught on a cellphone camera is full of name calling, hair pulling and fist fighting.

It's a shocking sight to the mother of the girl who appears to have gotten the better of the fight.

"I felt real bad about that because I taught my child to walk away from a situation if a situation occur, go get an adult," said Ivory Barnes, the girl's mother.

Barnes said she had no idea about the fight and was surprised to see her daughter caught in a violent attack. Since watching it, she grounded the middle schooler, who later apologized.

"I do not appreciate what I did to Charity, and I'm sorry if I hurt any other kids out here," said Ida Barnes, the girl seen fighting in the video.

Children in the neighborhood said it's not the first time there's been a fight. And the video posted to YouTube is raising parents' concerns about bullying.

"It's all about provoking, taunting and swearing out here," said Lisa Hart, who said her son was bullied. "It's not the child's play, it's not like frolicking and having fun, it's more like, 'Let's be violent against each other.'"

To prevent this sort of behavior, child counselor Theresa Rulien said parents need to be in constant communication with their children, offering support and guidance.

"It's being able to talk to your child, to recognize signs and symptoms of whether your child is being picked on," Rulien said.

She said the most noticeable signal is if a child changes behavior, such as wanting to stay home from school or acting shy.

Clearly, if it's caught on video, like in the case of this story, a conversation needs to take place, Rulien said.

For parents who are at wits end, Rulien said never give up because this sort of violence should not be tolerated.

Rulien said parents shouldn't wait for the negative, but make sure they're checking in with their children every day, regardless of what's going on.

She said children need to feel like their parents are going to support them no matter what.
