Sioux Falls Police Information Officer Sam Clemens says an argument between a 14-year-old boy and his mom became physical Monday morning.

Mom pretty much thought it was over. They were going to go to their separate rooms and cool off. She went to the bathroom. Her son came in and grabbed her by the throat and started restricting her breathing. He was arrested for aggravated assault." - Sioux Falls Police Information Officer Sam Clemens

In another incident, Clemens says an 11-year-old girl threatened her mother with a knife.

Yes. Same type of situation. The girl and mom were having an argument. The daughter ended up grabbing a knife and swung the knife at mom. Thankfully, she didn't hit mom. Mom called police. The 11-year-old was arrested for aggravated assault."

Clemens says both children were taken to the Juvenile Detention Center.
