I'm a mom of a teenage daughter who called me from school yesterday to tell me there was a student on campus who wanted to fight her and there were several other young ladies with her. After repeated calls to the school and to the local police department, I made it to school before any staff or authorities arrived (about 25min or more). There were two cars occupied by several young ladies and one young lady who kept getting in & out of the vehicle in an attempt to go after my daughter. The young ladies saw me coming and one of the vehicles tried to make a grand exit and sped through a student parking lot in a big suburban running over a landscape island and barely missing vehicles & students. I followed but nothing happened...one young girl is a student and the other was her big sister and the other carload still remains unknown. I plan to speak with school authorities today. Will offering my own discipline to her parents be wrong? It is obvious they have no home training.

Maybe they need some advice on their parenting , tell it nicely but don't have any expectations

If school was not in session, why were all these young ladies, including your daughter, still there?
Don't they, including your daughter, have better things to do than to hang around after school looking for a fight?
You need to ask for a conference with the principal and the parents of the girls that you do know,as well as all the girls that go to the school who were involved, and hash things out. But also remember that there is often no real "victim" in these situations.
You might be surprised what you find out.

Pray about it first. I ,mother of three teenagers, usually talk to the legal authorities and then the parent. I have found that talking to parents is a waste of time and causes more problems. The "parent" will be either doing the right parenting or they will not care. Some teens live in hell at home. The others, in trouble, seem to just choose to do wrong. Gods says "... do not imitate the lost." The next step I take is to give it to Jesus and let him take care of it. Vengeance is the Lords. He chooses the perfect way and sometimes teens are changed, if we let Jesus take care of the hearts. We only have to pray and pray for those teens.

Yes, it would be wrong to offer your disciplinary methods to the other parents. Where they have home training, as you call it, or not that is their business.
There isn't much you can do when only a threat of a fight exists. Until a fight actually happens the police and school authorities can't do much either other than advise (a/k/a warn) the other parties of the consequences of what their intended actions might be.

No, I don't think this would be wise. I would involve the authorities and take out a restraining order.
Make sure that you keep records of everything you do.
The school is responsible for what happens on their property. Hold their feet to the fire.

It is not your place to parent the girls parents. They wouldn't listen to you anyway. It is your duty to protect your daughter though. I wouldn't waste a minute. Speak with everyone you can think of that could help in this matter. Also, you need to have a serious conversation with your daughter and find out what is at the root of this.
