A 35-year-old South Carolina mother, Taylor Gosnell, has been arrested after allegedly st@bbing her two children, aged 6 and 3, in a vi%lent att@ck inside their home in Spartanburg.
Authorities said the children suffered approximately 50 st@b wounds between them, with some of the injuries reportedly cutting down to the bone. The 6-year-old sustained particularly severe injuries and could face possible amputation of some fingers and potentially an arm because of the extent of the wounds.
According to the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office, investigators believe Gosnell used a kn+fe and a blunt object during the att@ck.
The children were found alone and covered in bl@od after deputies responded to the home around 2:30 p.m. Saturday following a welfare check. Their grandmother and Gosnell’s ex-boyfriend had reportedly gone to the house after the 6-year-old called his grandmother saying he was hungry.
Both children were rushed to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, where they were described as being in stable condition and expected to recover.
