The mother of a teenager in Moreno Valley is outraged after she says her son was beaten by another student and that student’s father.
Megan Turner told KTLA that her son, a junior in high school, was walking home with two friends when another student and his father approached them and began hurling racial slurs at her son.
It was at this point that the altercation broke out, she says; video obtained by Turner and sent to KTLA shows five individuals throwing wild punches and using backpacks to hit each other.

A passerby can be heard honking the horn of their car in an attempt to break up the fight, but to no avail.
Turner says her son was “brutally” beaten and will need plastic surgery. Images she provided show the extent of the injuries her son sustained, which included a laceration above his eyebrow, a black eye and cuts to his lip.
The student and father accused of beating the teen have not been identified by officials, but Turner told KTLA that she did file a police report with the Moreno Valley Police Department.
