HUMBLE, Texas (KTRK) -- The parents who were charged in connection to a big fight at Atascocita High School are defending their actions.
Images from a video circulating on social media show what Humble ISD said was a fight that started inside the school before spilling outside Friday afternoon.
In a letter to parents, Atascocita High School Principal Will Falker said the "disruption" started at the end of the day.
The letter said a parent entered the campus without permission, and the fight began.
Overall, district officials said this included two parents and at least five students.
One of those parents, according to Humble ISD, is charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon, and another parent was issued a citation for disorderly conduct.
Tuesday night, the parents shared their side of the story to ABC13.
"I would rather homeschool my children because that's how much I'm afraid," said the father, who asked to remain anonymous because he said he's been threatened.
The father said his ninth grade son was stabbed near his ear during a fight over a girl a week earlier. He provided photos of the injury. Then, last Friday, as the father was waiting outside at dismissal, he said his son called him saying he was afraid the kids were going to "jump him." The father admits he entered the school without permission.
