A shocking incident occurred in Castleton, Indiana, on September 19th, when a woman allegedly stabbed her one-year-old niece after her pitbull jacked her Burger King chicken sandwich.
The incident took place at a Days Inn Hotel in Castleton. According to reports, Sharon Key's niece was lying on the bed while her mother bathed her brother in the bathroom. Key had been staying with the woman and her children at the Days Inn.
It is reported that Key was aiming the knife at the dog after it nabbed her food and accidentally stabbed her baby niece, hitting the girl in the face and neck. Upon hearing her daughter scream, Key's sister ran out of the bathroom to find her baby girl screaming as blood soaked the bed. The woman's sister frantically explained the alleged stabbing was an accident before running out of the room, leaving the worried mother to seek emergency help for her injured baby.
The Indianapolis Metro Police Department verified the mother's story with surveillance camera footage it obtained. William Young, a police officer for the IMPD, expressed how distressing the officers who received the call were. “All of our officers, you hear that come across the radio, your heart drops. You want to get here as soon as you can. A lot of our officers, paramedics, fire — they have children that are infants, so you could imagine when they arrive, what our officers go through.”
Key was then found hiding in the bushes at the Days Inn. Her sister revealed that Key had been battling with drug addiction and mental health issues and had reportedly been drinking alcohol for most of the day the stabbing occurred.
Following the incident, Key was charged with two counts of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon and one count of negligence of a dependent that resulted in serious bodily harm. The first count carries a maximum penalty of two-and-a-half years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The second charge varies depending on the severity.
The one-year-old victim was initially in critical condition before being upgraded to stable condition at Riley Hospital. It is hoped that the baby girl will make a full recovery from this terrible ordeal.
