On Oct. 1, the sisters allegedly barged into the 12-year-old’s house uninvited and repeatedly slapped or punched her in the face.
The middle sister, Shontavia, also reportedly stole the girl’s cell phone before the group left.
Police believe that one of the sisters’ younger relatives had a previous argument with the 12-year-old, which led to the attack, WACH Fox 57 reported.
