TWO mums have been branded "bad parents" after they brawled outside school gates following a public row over bullying claims by one of their children.
A District Court judge described the two women as liars and bad parents following their appearance in court over the row.
Mothers and former friends Vicky Kelly and Lyndsey Newman from Drogheda, were told by Judge John Lindsay that he had "grave doubts" they should be bringing up children.
A raging dispute between the neighbours erupted after one of Kelly's children claimed that Ms Newman's child had bullied her at school.
It was alleged that Kelly had "roared for a blade" and headbutted Ms Newman during the row in Laurence's Park, Drogheda on December 18, 2008.
But Judge John Lindsay dubbed the two rowing mums Vicky Kelly and Lyndsey Newman liars and bad parents.
He told Kelly, who was charged with assaulting Lyndsey Newman, that she was "insolent, cheeky and rude".
