Police say they have taken out warrants for the woman's arrest.
The teen told Viteri it all started when the suspect encouraged her 8-year-old daughter to fight another child in this neighborhood, but then stepped in and hit that child herself, then started attacking her older sister.
"She grabbed her by her shirt and her hair like this and slammed her," the teen said, showing Viteri how the fight started.
The family of the 16- and 8-year-old girls asked not to be identified.
"She snatched my 8-year-old by her hair and snatched her to the ground, and she hit her head on the ground," the victims' mother said.
The mother of the two girls contacted Viteri after the incident, which happened Wednesday night on Godby Road in College Park. The teen says she told the woman not to hit her younger sister.
"Then she started cursing at me and said, 'You can get it, too,' and that's when she hit me, and we started fighting," the teen said.
The teen showed Viteri long scratches on her chest, neck and face she says are from the suspect's nails. She says the woman slammed her head onto the pavement.
"I'm totally distraught, because I would never think an adult would touch another person's child," the victims' mother said.
Viteri went to the suspect's house. The woman's grandmother told Viteri she wasn't home.
"She shouldn't have did that. Those are children and stuff. Those are kids and she's a grown woman," the grandmother said.
"She needs to be in jail. She needs to know that it's not OK to beat on an 8-year-old and a 16-year-old. It's not OK," the victims' mother said.
She told Viteri she took both of her daughters to the hospital to be checked out, but other than some bumps and bruises, they are doing OK.
