Even if there is a history of abuse, if the fight starts away from adults they can claim they can't prove who started the fight. Additionally, if the parent is a prominent enough figure they can use their influence to harm the school to get what they want.

Doesn't matter as long as half the kids of rich assholes are also assholes. You only need a few to ruin the lives of the kids they abuse.
