Teen charged with assaulting mother over pocket money and internet outages

A teenager from northern Israel has been charged with attacking his mother on multiple occasions, causing her serious injuries. According to police reports, the assaults were triggered by disputes over pocket money and frustration when the household internet connection was not working. The mother filed a complaint with authorities after suffering injuries from the violent incidents. The teenager’s defence lawyer has argued that his client has special needs and requires therapeutic intervention rather than criminal prosecution. The case has sparked significant online debate about youth violence and parental support services in Israel.
