CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A mother who says her children are being bullied was arrested at an elementary school after school officials said she caused a major disruption.
Channel 2's Tom Jones was in Clayton County at Suder Elementary School, where police say the woman went too far in voicing her complaints.
Tamara Glover was arrested on Thursday and faces one count of disruption with the operation of a public school.
Police say she went to the school and was so loud officers had no choice but to arrest her.
But a family friend told Jones there is more to this story.
Antonio Williams said Glover felt her children were being bullied and the school wasn't doing enough about it. He said she wasn't so out of control she needed to be arrested.
"She's really passionate about her babies," Williams said.

Williams said a group of girls had been bullying Glover's boys at the bus stop on Flint River Road.
On Thursday morning, Glover saw one of the girls elbow her son.
"I guess (Glover) was trying to say something to the bus driver and the bus driver pulled off," Williams said.
Glover went to the school and let her emotions get the best of her, Williams said, but she never intended to hurt anyone.
"I know that she didn't have intentions to go up there and do anything violent or nothing like that," Williams said.
Jones reached out to the school district to find out if Glover's kids had been bullied, but the school didn't respond.
Glover is being held on a $5,000 bond.
