HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Three teenage siblings are facing criminal charges after coming up with a plan to kill their mother for turning off the Wi-Fi, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the disturbance call on Monday in the 3400 block of Barkers Crossing Avenue.

Gonzalez said that deputies found the mother with injuries inflicted by her children, who are 14, 15 and 16 years old.
