3 Teens Beat Their Mom with a Brick for Turning Off the Wi-Fi, Sheriff Says

Three teenage girls in Houston have been accused of conspiring to kill their mother. The alleged source of their rage? Their mom turned off the Wi-Fi.

The siblings, ages 14, 15, and 16, were arrested on Monday on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Authorities responded to a disturbance in the 3400 block of Barkers Crossing Avenue overnight and found a woman assaulted by her three children, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a post on X.

Because their mother turned off the Wi-Fi, the teenagers allegedly chased her around the house and into the street with kitchen knives and struck her with a brick, Gonzalez said. The children’s grandmother was also knocked over while trying to protect the mother. Gonzalez said neither woman was seriously injured.

“The three siblings allegedly coordinated a plan to try and kill the mother,” he wrote. “Because the mother turned-off the wi-fi, all three grabbed kitchen knives and chased her throughout the house and into the street, attempting to stab her.”
