A parking dispute in Richmond, California, took a serious turn when 30-year-old Jasmine Hernandez was attacked with a hammer by the neighbors' 14-year-old son.
She needed major surgery and is recovering at home with her boyfriend, Irvin Henriquez.
The couple says the incident started simply because they were blocked from parking.
Teen charged with attempted murder
The teen has been charged with attempted murder and felony battery, while his mother faces accessory and felony assault charges.
The attack has left Hernandez and Henriquez unable to work as they care for their young daughter, and they are now thinking about moving somewhere safer.
Locals are shocked. One person summed it up online: "Unfortunately, this is all too common in Richmond. People act like public parking belongs to them, and I've seen arguments over it firsthand." said one social media user, who added, "If this behavior isn't addressed, that child is going to be a menace."
