Fight : Hannah Kingsley threatened to cut the throat of a 10-year-old girl who argued with her daughter . A mother threatened to cut the throat of a 10-year-old girl who had an argument with her daughter , a court heard . Hannah Kingsley screamed , 'Do n't shout at my child ' and swore at the girl while holding a knife following an ongoing neighbourhood dispute . The 45-year-old avoided jail over the incident , but was given a 12-month community order at Teesside Crown Court . Prosecutor Shaun Dodds said Kingsley , from Middlesbrough , intervened after the little girl had an argument with her daughter . 'She appears with a knife , shouting at the child , ' he said . 'While holding the knife she shouts , `` Don ’ t ever shout at my child , if you do I will cut your throat , '' and various expletives . ' The court heard both sets of parents then became involved , leading to a fight in which Kingsley 's partner Cornell Brown brandished a cosh . He was given a suspended jail sentence in a separate set of proceedings . Kingsley pleaded guilty to having a blade in a public place . The court heard she had previous convictions for dishonesty and drugs offending , but no history of violence . Scott Taylor , defending , told the court Kingsley had moved since the incident in July last year and she had no further contact with the family . Recorder Andrew Dallas said : 'There is obviously a background here and she appears to acknowledge the stupidity of what she did . 'Brandishing a knife in a public place in these circumstances was a foolish thing to do . 'It it had gone any further you would have been going to prison today . ' I take into account it was never your intention to cause any harm , though undoubtedly the child of your neighbour would have been frightened by the way you were behaving and the things you said were wholly inappropriate . ' Neighbourhood : The row came after an ongoing dispute between neighbours in Middlesborough , pictured .
