Rep. Nancy Mace called for strict punishment after two children were found with knife wounds in Spartanburg County. Authorities say the children remain hospitalized and are expected to recover.
Mace said Wednesday that the attack was criminal and that people who harm children should not walk free. She also said the justice system should send a clear message and expressed hope for the children’s recovery.
Authorities said deputies found a three-year-old and a six-year-old with knife wounds after responding to a welfare check on Sept. 26. Taylor Gosnell was arrested and denied bond on charges including attempted murder, according to the report. The six-year-old suffered severe arm trauma that could require amputation; both children remain hospitalized in protective custody and are expected to recover.
