A Florida teenager accused of trying to kill his mother because she kept asking him to clean his room allegedly beat her with a frying pan and stabbed her with a pocket knife.
Tobias "Toby" Jacob Brewer, 17, was arrested and booked into juvenile detention on Nov. 30 after allegedly attacking his mother and then leading authorities on a pursuit, Fox Orlando reported.
His case has been transferred to adult court, the news outlet said.
Brewer allegedly told investigators that he stabbed his mother multiple times and hit her on the head with a frying pan because she was "constantly on his case about cleaning his room."
"The suspect advised that he does not like cleaning his room and was tired of the victim (his mom) constantly harping about it," the report stated. Brewer told detectives that he then took both of his mom's car keys and took money out of her purse "so that he can have money once he left the area," a probable cause affidavit said.

I have lived alone most of my adult life.
I had a house in Los Angeles—1966 to 1995.
I had gladiolas planted between sidewalk & curb.
Came outside to find kid from 3 doors down hacking at the plants/stalks of blooms with a flat stick-—destroying them.
I walked up to him-—I KNEW the family-—& I picked him halfway off the ground by his shirt collar—like a cat—and marched him down to his parents.
She was AGHAST-—I walked them both back to see the damage he had done. THEN she was furious at HIM-—and VERY THANKFUL I had grabbed him & frog marched him to her house.
HE had to clean up the mess he made-—and I NEVER had any more trouble from him.
My mom also raised 5 boys pretty much by herself. She’s about 5’ tall and all of 120 pounds at her heaviest. Not one of us boys ever talked back to her more than once.

I’d say we are evenly matched. I went to college and he went to trade school. We are both smart, hardworking, and self-sufficient. Our strengths and knowledge base were compliments to each other. We have a traditional marriage and we give each other space to pursue hobbies (he likes to fish and kayak, I like to write). We are fiercely loyal to each other, work as a team, and prefer each other’s company above all others (except when our children want or need us). For the first 15 years, he carried the house. For the last 15 years, I earned more than him. It didn’t matter who earned more; we treat all income as family money.
COVID did a number on my lungs and most recently I started to experience heart issues, too. The prognosis is not good.
When I asked my husband what he wanted for Christmas, he stated candidly, “I want you to get better.” As we discussed my health situation pragmatically, I could sense he was getting upset (you have to really know him to detect that).
I hugged him to reassure him and he paid me the highest compliment of our marriage. “You are my center,” he said. He had never said that to me before and I treasure it.
My college friends originally thought I married down, only to later realize I managed to land the male version of a unicorn.
I am very blessed, indeed.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
Sounds like our moms were cut from the same cloth!
We need more moms like them in this world.
That’s what my mom would have done. I don’t have any neighbor hood kids due to where I live out in the country, but if I did and one of them did something like that, I would do the same thing!
While giving a pass to the idealized abandoning parent. "If Dad were here, he'd let me do what I want!"
Ace move. And it's also what many women wish their husband would say to his mother.
I raised all my boys without hitting, threatening to hit, or grounding them. All I needed was a stern expression and tone of voice. Sometimes I lectured them, and sometimes I had to raise my voice. But, overall, they were good kids, much nicer than most other kids. Eventually, we became a single-parent household. They all grew to outsize me (which was not hard to do), but they never gave me any trouble. I thought we all had a fun family life and got along well.
Years later, one confessed that, growing up, he walked on eggshells around me like I was a ticking time bomb. So, somehow, without ever even threatening to hit my kids, without even threatening punishment, without ever wanting to make my kids fearful of me, I’d managed to scare the living **** out of them. It must not be difficult to do.
My guess is this woman was an overwhelmed single parent of a seriously disturbed young man, probably a psychopath.
UPDATE - More details on this case:
- The mother is 69.
- Two friends of the son went to the house and witnessed what happened.
- The son fled in the mother’s car and picked up his girlfriend.
- When he crashed the car, he and his girlfriend tried to flee on foot.
(The story’s being reported now, but it happened a few weeks ago.)
This little freak is about to be very popular ... in prison.
He is not in Juvenile Detention. He is with the big boys in the County Jail. If convicted, he will go to adult prison.
Will he go for one or two items from the canteen?
What really blows my mind about this story is the kid actually had a ‘Girl friend’?
That blew my mind, too... Not only does he have a girlfriend, but she went on the run with him.
Lock him up, and his Mother needs to disown him for what he did.
My 18 year old stepson thought he was going to mouth off to his mom one day while we were all working in tge barn. I overheard it and turned towards him which made him stop what he was going to say. I was about 15 feet away and told him to shut up but he decided to keep after it. I gave him another warning and he still went on.
Poor dumb bastard didn’t think this old man could cover 15 feet faster then he could blink. Next thing he knew was I had him in a chokehold. Then he shut up. POS moved out after that and I haven’t laid eyes on him since, going on 6 years now.
