ATLANTA — The mother of a 13-year-old girl says video captured the moments another student attacked her child at school.
Ayuna Reynolds said her daughter's attacker is now sharing the video on social media.
Channel 2's Tom Jones was at Kipp Ways Academy, where video shows a fight break out between the two students.
Reynolds says she learned a school resource officer recorded the video with his cellphone and sent it to a parent. The alleged attacker then got access to the video and shared it, Reynolds says.

Reynolds says the whole incident has been traumatizing to her daughter and she's upset the video got out in the first place. She says the school told her the other child was initially suspended for three to 10 days, but Reynolds says she believes the girl should face additional punishment.
"She's definitely not learned a lesson if she shared the video," Reynolds said.
She also thinks the school resource officer should face charges for releasing the video without the school's permission.
Reynolds says she went to the school to get answers.
"They apologized for his behavior," she said.
Jones called the school to get its side of the story. The spokesperson would not confirm Reynold's account of what happened, but sent Jones a statement saying, "The school is aware of the allegations and it is investigating to ensure appropriate steps are taken in alignment with policies and procedures."
