Officials: Neb. Boy, Girl Tried to Kill Girl’s Mom

police-lights-red(AP) — A 14-year-old girl and her 15-year-old boyfriend in Nebraska have been accused of trying to kill the girl’s mother because she disapproved of the relationship.

Chief Deputy Douglas County Attorney Brenda Beadle says the teens each face a charge of attempted murder in juvenile court.

Beadle says the teens will likely face probation and other lesser punishments.

Authorities say the mother was not seriously injured in the Oct. 14 incident, which involved the boy jumping on the woman’s back and the girl trying to hit her mother with a frying pan.

The mother is not interested in pursuing a prosecution, but Beadle says the attack warrants an investigation and juvenile court oversight.
