Fuquay-Varina, N.C. — A mother and her teenage daughter were arrested Sunday following a family feud.

Tammy Harris, 38, is accused of assaulting her daughter at their Baytree Street home in Fuquay-Varina. Harris attacked Ashley Malpass, 17, because Malpass was beating up her brother, police said.

Malpass was also charged with assault for allegedly choking and slapping her brother, whose age was unavailable.

Harris was out on bond, and Malpass was being held Sunday evening at the Wake County Jail on $500 bond.

Harris-Malpass? Is there a father figure in all of this. From the limited coverage of this incident, it sounds like mom was protecting the boy, age or medical condition unknown of him. Any alcohol or drugs involved? Off course as usual, the mug photos certainly do not show the possible good side of either of these felons. Hopefully an upgrade on this story, will give us some real good investigative insight to comment on

Rev. RB - aka SpiritWarriorWoman - Maybe the mother is where the daughter learned violence from in the first place.

Maybe not. There are plenty of children out there who grew up in respectable homes and raised by decent parents, only to turn around and the parents and siblings become abused and terrified of their own children. As the other part of my comment stated, I need more information, neither of us posting comments have enough information to fully assess the situation.

Dr. Dataclerk u can say whatever it is u like. Ur kids might go to church, even love each other and still fight! U can't honestly think that we can believe that ur children has never had a fight. How can u say the mother abused her child by stopping her for BEATING on her brother. If u condone this behavior from a child then what type of parenting r u doing??????

clickclackity2 - "So far, I'm with the mother for giving her daughter a taste of her own medicine."

Maybe the mother is where the daughter learned violence from in the first place.

God bless.
