‘I’ve been watching ya mum real close’: Threatening texts a girl, 15, sent to her ex-boyfriend’s sister after they broke up – moments before the woman was bashed by a gang outside her home
- A mother was brutally bashed by a group of teenagers out the front of her house
- Emma claims she was ambushed by the group of youths and a woman
- The abusive gang allegedly came looking for Emma's 14-year-old son
- She believes they were after him because he broke up with a neighbour, 15
The 15-year-old girl at the centre of an all-in brawl that saw a mother bashed out the front of her home sent threatening texts moments before it unfolded.
Emma, a single mum from Mill Park in north-east Melbourne, claims she was attacked a group of youths and adults about 2:30pm Tuesday.
The gang allegedly came looking for the mother's 14-year-old son after he broke off a relationship with a neighbour's 15-year-old daughter amid a messy 'love triangle' feud.
Her daughter, the 14-year-old boy's sister, received a slew of threatening text messages only moments before she was set upon while mowing her front lawn.
'I've been watching ya mum real close mowing the lawns, lucky a sneaky car going past didn't grab her,' one read.

'Just tell her to keep an eye out'.
She allegedly followed up with another text message, despite never receiving a response from her first three, calling her ex-boyfriend's sister a dog.
'Wanna abuse me dog I'll abuse your whole family.'
Only moments later, the 40-year-old was set upon by a group of seven people, who began brawling with her on the footpath.
Up to 20 people allegedly joined in on the brawl when it moved further down the street.
CCTV footage showed one woman stomping on a man's head while another woman, reportedly Emma, was repeatedly punched, dragged to the floor and kicked.
Another woman appears to threaten the group with a boomerang.
A neighbour called the police about half an hour after the fight started when she saw one person getting assaulted with a tree branch.
One of the girl's fathers allegedly arrived in the black vehicle and engaged in the brawl, attacking Emma's son and throwing him to the ground.
