Miami-Dade Woman Arrested After Alleged Assault On Son Over Chores

Miami-Dade, FL - A domestic dispute inside a Miami-Dade home allegedly escalated into violence, leading to the arrest of a local woman accused of assaulting her teenage son.

According to an arrest report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a residence Monday night after receiving a call regarding a family disturbance.

Investigators say the incident began when the mother became upset that her son had not completed household chores.

Deputies allege she woke him after he had gone to bed and instructed him to wash dishes.

During the interaction, the teen reportedly dropped a metal fork.

Authorities allege the woman picked up the utensil and threw it toward his face, though he was not struck.
