MORENO VALLEY, Calif. - Video of another fight at a Moreno Valley school began circulating on social media Thursday, just over a week after a 13-year-old boy died from injuries sustained during a fight at a school within the same school district.
The video is contributing to a growing concern for parents about violence and bullying at schools within the Moreno Valley Unified School District. The video also comes as the district has been accused of not doing enough to combat bullying in schools.
The video was posted on Facebook Wednesday night. In the caption, the uploader claimed that the fight took place at Sunnymead Middle School. It was unclear what date the fight actually took place.
