The Harris County Sheriff's Office responded to a call where a woman claimed her three children attempted to kill her after she turned the WiFi off. The children, aged 14, 15, and 16, came up with a detailed plan to kill their mother, according to FOX 5. Their identities have not been released due to their ages.

The teens allegedly each grabbed a kitchen knife and began chasing their mother through their home and out into the street, knocking over their grandmother, who was trying to protect her. The mother was also hit with a brick.

Deputies arrested all three teens and charged them with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The teens were booked into the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center.
