The fight started after another student threw a lunch bag at Romero.
"I really truly feel sorry for the family,” Romero’s mother Rynee told the station. “Me and my daughter, sincerely apologize and we both hate it that this happened to her.”
Brown underwent surgery on Friday to repair her ear, her mother. Rynee Romero said that her daughter’s behavior stems from being bullied at school.
