Story summary

Taylor Gosnell, a 35-year-old mother from Spartanburg, South Carolina, allegedly stabbed her two children — a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old — over 50 times with a knife on Saturday morning. The attack was reported after the older child called his grandmother saying he was hungry, leading to the discovery of the injuries. Both children were taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center initially before being transferred to Prisma Health Children’s Hospital in Greenville for further treatment and surgeries. According to authorities, some wounds were so severe that they cut to the bone, and the 6-year-old is facing possible amputations of fingers or an arm due to the extent of his injuries. Gosnell was denied bond on two counts of attempted murder and faces additional charges related to weapon possession during a violent crime.
