News footage of the home in Houston, Texas where three teenage sisters allegedly tried to kill their mother (KRIV).
A Texas mother was allegedly chased into the street by her own teenage daughters after she took away their internet access — now all three are facing charges of aggravated assault.
In a social media post on March 24, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez stated that three teenage girls, ages 14, 15 and 16 years old, were arrested and in custody after they allegedly “coordinated a plan to try and kill [their] mother.” Gonzalez said the reason for the alleged plot was because the mother “turned off the wi-fi.” The girls also allegedly threw a brick at their mother, whom they chased out of the home while wielding kitchen knives.
Authorities said that the three teenagers allegedly “grabbed kitchen knives” and chased their mother around the house, eventually making their way out to the street, “attempting to stab her.” Gonzalez also said the mother was “struck with a brick,” and that the grandmother, who was also at the scene, “was knocked over while trying to protect the mother.” Neither woman suffered serious injuries.

KRIV, a local Fox affiliate, reported that the household apparently had a history of run-ins with the law. A neighbor who spoke on camera but chose to remain anonymous told the station, “They’re known for that in this neighborhood. There’s always cops around that house.”
She added, “I think that’s so crazy. I mean it just tells how unstable that family is, and it’s very sad for them.”
All three girls were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They are currently in custody at Harris County Juvenile Detention Center.
