Joyce Sabotka, 30, and her boyfriend Steven Meyer, 32, of Tarentum, face a preliminary hearing Aug. 19 on child endangerment and simple assault charges.
They were arrested Thursday because police say the couple forced the fist fights at least 20 times. If the boys refused, police say they got smacked.
Police began investigating when the boys' natural father noticed bruises on them and had them treated at a hospital.
Online court records don't list attorneys for the couple, who do not have a listed phone.
