Falesia Clark

  • Parent of the Year, Falesia Clark

In a fierce attempt to win Helicopter Parent of the Year, a local mom took to the Bedford High School grounds this week to fight her daughter’s battles— literally, with a hard right hook and a loaded .22 caliber pistol.

45-year-old Falesia Clark was arrested on Monday after assaulting a 16-year-old girl who’d been bickering with Clark’s daughter over social media. Clark arrived at the high school at dismissal time to confront the girl, and ended up punching her in the face and knocking her to the ground. Police say she also went ape-shit on another student who tried to intervene.

Authorities immediately arrested Clark and discovered she had a loaded pistol in her purse. She was booked, and charged with trespassing, two counts of assault and carrying a concealed weapon on school property. She’s currently being held on a $1 million bond.

  1. Honestly without knowing the details, if my baby girl was being bullied on social media, instead of my baby putting a bullet in her head I’d rather me go and confront this situation. It’s quite possible that she had had it with school officials. I remember the days where my mother came to my school in the 80s to confront a student for doing the same. Now I don’t know the particulars and I’m speculating but let it be my kid, and shits gonna hit the fan. Rather than me transferring my Child out or worse.

  2. Funny we say this but had it been a bullied incident where the child did something to themselves we take pity. May it be proactive? Who knows

  3. REMEMBER WHEN BEDFORD AND BEDFORD HEIGHTS WAS WHITE? WE DIDN’T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ONLY WITH CROAKWOOD VILLAGE……..
