At some point, the mother said, a fight broke out, and multiple people attacked her daughter before security broke it up.
Racine police said they assisted with a call around 10 p.m. for a large fight involving possibly 100 people.
What they're saying:
"I am livid, you know," said the mother, who asked to remain anonymous to protect her daughter. "Last night was completely overboard and uncalled for […] She was hysterical. You don't expect to go out to a party and almost not make it home."
The mother said her daughter had minor injuries but is otherwise okay. She said she wants the people involved to be charged.
"One wrong hit, one wrong tase, could have went wrong for my daughter. I don't think they understand the severity of the situation," the mother said.
She said some of the girls tried to fight her daughter days before the quinceañera, and she wants the conflict to end.
