Long Island mom allegedly ran over teen — twice — to avenge her bullied son

A Long Island mom allegedly ran over a 15-year-old boy with her car — twice — to avenge her bullied son.

Jennifer Nelson, 35, of Shirley in Suffolk County is now charged with attempted murder for allegedly slamming her car into the teen in the parking lot of a Manhattan Bagel shop in October, then running him over two times, because she believed he had earlier bullied and robbed her son.

Nelson then tried to trade in her leased 2020 Honda Passport for a different model to throw cops off her trail, prosecutors say.

“This defendant — an adult — allegedly thought she could take the law into her own hands to kill a 15-year-old in the process,” Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney said in a statement Monday, as Nelson was indicted in the crime.

“This defendant’s incredibly misguided attempt to avenge the alleged victimization of her own child is no excuse,” he said. “Citizens cannot take the law into their own hands, and should instead work with law enforcement and my office to seek justice in every case.”
