document: The worst parents in America ? Couple '' `` forced their son , 7 , to fight with rival then beat up patrol guard who tried to stop it '' '' Two parents beat up a 73-year-old crossing guard who tried to stop a fight involving their seven-year-old son , who they forced to fight with another pupil , according to police . Shareka Sharrett McKinney , 29 , and Darell Livingston , 26 , from Lansing , Michigan , were arrested yesterday after the altercation at a school bus stop on Thursday morning . Lt Noel Garcia from Lansing Police Department said the parents ' son was involved in a school-boy fight at Lyons Elementary School on Wednesday . He said it was a typical schoolboy fight when one boy pushed another . The boy was sent home as punishment , but McKinney and Livingston did not think that was adequate , according to police . The next day they drove their son to the area , let him out and told him to beat the boy , which he did , knocking him to the ground with one punch Lt Garcia said : '' `` They told their son to go get him , go assault him , go fight with him , so their son did that and knocked down the other seven-year-old to the ground . '' '' When the crossing guard James Thompson intervened , they both starting beating on him , Lt Garcia told the Lansing State Journal . They are being held on possible charges of assault and battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor . Michael LaVasseur was there at the time of the attack and though legally blind , said he heard everything , enough to make sense of what happened . Mr LaVasseur walks his daughter and her two friends to the bus stop every day . He said : '' `` I 'm sitting there talking to the crossing guard , next thing I know a car pulls up real fast against a curb , hit the curb , went over it , the female jumps out and starts swearing at the little boy . '' `` The crossing guard pulled the boys apart and that 's when the dad of the kids started harassing the crossing guard and attacking him . '' `` You got one person grabbing him from the back and one person attacking him from the front . '' '' Police said the father punched 73-year-old Mr Thompson in the mouth , chipping one of his teeth , while the mother came at him from behind . The father turned himself into Lansing Police on Friday afternoon and McKinney was later arrested . Lt Garcia said : '' `` The crossing guard took some substantial strikes to the head so he 's going to be a little sore . '' '' Mr Thompson , who has been a crossing guard for 15 years , did not require medical attention and was back out on the road the next day .
