A 35-YEAR-OLD mum went looking for two girls she thought had been bullying her six-year-old daughter.
Blackburn magistrates heard when Sarah Ann Bleeks caught up with the girls, aged 10 and 12, she slapped one and pushed the other.

Bleeks, of Hazel Close, Blackburn, was convicted after trial of two charges of racially-aggravated assault.
She was made subject to community supervision for 18 months and ordered to pay £15 compensation to each of the girls.
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said the two girls were playing in the street when the defendant’s daughter approached and asked if she could join in. They said no because she was only six. The daughter went home and told her mum who went looking for the girls.
“She accused them of picking on her daughter and started shouting racist abuse in their faces,” said Miss Allan. “She then slapped one of the girls and pushed the other over.”
The court heard Bleeks still didn't accept responsibility despite being convicted.
