I could not believe this when I heard it on the evening news, but an elderly woman has been arrested and charged in the stabbing of her great granddaughter. The child, was said to have been studying with a sister when the act occurred. She is now fighting for her life after suffering 6 stab wounds. Reports say the woman is denying that she committed this crime, but it seems like they have a case against her. She was babysitting the children.

WHAT??!! Thats crazy!! Man what a world we live in where grandparents are stabbing there grand babies!! I hope the girl will be ok and tell the poliece what happened. I wonder what took place to set the grandma off like that? Had to be pretty bad..or she fliped out! If she did it then she sould serve some time for it or be on house arrest.

I had not heard anything of this in the news. But I find the news appalling. I cannot imagine anything that would provoke a grandmother into doing such a terrible thing to a child. That poor child, I hope he/she recovers quickly and has no trauma from this.

OMG now I see where you got the other post from! If it turns out that this grandmother was suffering from some form of dementia then surely it would have been obvious before this and she should never have been left to care for these children! What a horrible thing to happen - I pray that this poor girl recovers and is not too scarred mentally from what has happened to her! xxx

It sounds as if the grandmother may be suffering from dementia. What a horrible thing to have to go through knowing that a family member is responsible for harming one of your children.

I have to wonder if the great grandma suffers from some sort of dementia. It's not uncommon for our elderly to seem okay and then just break one day out of no where. My grandma is 78 and very active but it is becoming clear lately that she is starting to "lose it". As much as I love her I wouldn't leave my kids with her.
Regardless I could imagine that this has torn the family apart. Nobody wants to believe that grandma could be capable of such an act.

What a sad story and my prayers are certainly with this family. It is horrible to read the things that people do these days and it is always the ones that always seem the nicest that turns out to be the worst.
How could a grandmother do such a thing and why only one granddaughter. I hope that the girl survives and can tell us what happened. Please keep us informed on what happens to her.
