The mother who encouraged her daughter to fight on a school bus has been sentenced to 364 days in jail.

TAMPA - A mother who was videotaped boarding a school bus and urging her daughter to fight another girl was sentenced to nearly a year in jail Thursday.

Shayla Muldrow, 26, was sentenced to 364 days in jail followed by six months probation. She was convicted by a jury Tuesday of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and trespassing.

The March 2 incident gained national attention because a surveillance camera on the bus recorded Muldrow climbing aboard, finding a girl who had allegedly slapped her 10-year-old daughter two days before and then instructing her daughter to "handle it."

Thanks, vinny1. Crazy video, but the sentence still seems way too harsh to me...

I don't think that mum is showing particularly keen parenting skills here, but a year in jail seems a bit overzealous in terms of sentencing.
