Monday’s hearing in Carroll County Juvenile Court followed a fight at Villa Rica High School on Nov. 19 involving 10 female students. Six of the students are juveniles and four are being prosecuted as adults. The mother of the one of the students was arrested following the hearing.
During a preliminary hearing on Nov. 20, Judge Dan Camp decided to detain one student until Nov. 23 because of her prior record and current probation for similar charges. During Monday’s hearing, Camp said he would detain the student until December in an effort to avoid further incidents.
“When she was on probation, I expected her to be under control but there were problems with that,” Camp said.
Since the girl’s probation order in June, Camp cited at least three fights involving the student, not including the incident at the high school on Nov. 19 or the alleged fight the night before at a Villa Rica home.
The student’s probation officer recommended she be released and put on total lockdown, which would require 24-hour monitoring with an ankle bracelet, allowing her to attend school. The officer justified the request by explaining that the student’s parents were worried about her mental health. Though the officer recommended in-home counseling, Camp stuck by his decision to detain the girl until December.
The girl begged Camp to change his decision as she was led from the courtroom.
“I’ve changed, Judge Camp,” she said. “Just a few days in there have changed me. Don’t make me go back. I won’t do it again.”
After the hearing, the girl’s mother, Kizzy Williams, 33, was arrested for her alleged involvement in the Nov. 18 fight.
Williams reportedly drove her daughter to another student’s home Wednesday after picking her up at an after-school tutoring program. Williams’ daughter allegedly lured the student outside and proceeded to beat her. When it appeared that Williams’ daughter might be losing the fight, Williams reportedly jumped on the student, according to Villa Rica High School Resource Officer Michelle Moore.
The student sustained numerous injuries, including a black eye and head injuries from having her hair pulled out, Villa Rica Police Capt. Keith Shaddix said.
Williams was charged with reckless conduct, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, affray, party to a crime, conspiracy to commit a crime and battery.
As deputies escorted Williams out of the courtroom in handcuffs, she contested her arrest.
“These folks are taking me away on false accusations,” Williams screamed. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”
During Williams’ testimony Monday, she explained that after she picked up her daughter, she moved to the passenger seat, closed her eyes and allowed her daughter to drive home. Williams said they did drive through a subdivision where they saw the student’s brother, but they never stopped the vehicle.
In a separate hearing Monday for another girl involved in the Nov. 19 school fight, Camp ordered that the student be allowed to go home even though she was already on probation for similar charges in Cobb County.
Since the probation began on Oct. 27, the probation officer said there had not been enough time to determine whether or not the probation sentence was effective.
The student was also required to start anger management classes on Dec. 5.
Camp ordered the girl be released on “house bound” custody without a monitor. She is allowed to remain at a parent’s home as long as she doesn’t make any contact with the other students involved, agrees to stay off school property and adheres to a court ordered curfew of 5 p.m. on weekdays and 6:30 p.m. on weekends.
The young woman’s trial along with four of the other juveniles involved is set for Dec. 22.

for the record, only one of the girls in the fight is from villa rica, most are students who have been kicked out of other county schools. If a student is kicked out of a school, they should be sent to alternative school and not allowed to go to another school and act a fool. Parents you are responsible for your children. Either you handle your kids or the criminal justice system will handle them for you. The criminal justice system is broke so wouldn't you rather raise them. By the way, why is it the fight between some white students didn't make the paper that same day. A 20yr old bought his girlfriend to school and ended up in a fight with another student on the school grounds. he was arrested. let's tell all the mess not part of it. also the white kid who gave a 9th grader( who overdosed)drugs and moonshine to wash it down was also arrested. why can't everything be told?

It's actions such as this that had me wanting to move my children to another school. This high school has had these problems for many years. It's sad that parents have to go those extra lengths to be sure that their children attend a school that is safe for them.What is happening here and who is actually responsible for actions such as these happening,I BLAME THE PARENTS.Parents are responsible for their children, we teach them everyday. This may be why our system has so many children in foster-care.Get to the bottom of the problem!!!! Everyone of the parents are responsible for what their children see and do!!!!

I'm sorry, I know its not funny but REALLY? Gee, Kizzy, you really think anyone is going to believe you closed your eyes while your daughter was driving home? Kudos to Judge Camp for detaining that girl. That's where she belongs, along with her mother. What is Villa Rica becoming? I feel sorry for anyone at the high school, students and teachers. If Kizzy's actions are any indications of the type of parental support that is given, I would rather the parents stay away. There is so much to say about this, so very much.
