Hawaii Island police: Mom stabbed 9-year-old daughter multiple times
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A mother has been charged after she allegedly stabbed her 9-year-old daughter in Pahoa, according to Hawaii Island police.
Officials said Calla Weddington is charged with five counts, including assault, unlawful imprisonment, and attempted assault of an officer.
Court documents say the 34-year-old violated a child custody order when she pulled her daughter out of school last Wednesday and drove her to a home on Lehua Drive.
The woman subsequently stabbed the child multiple times in the hand and chest, police said.
Weddington is also accused at lunging at a responding officer with a knife.
Officials say Weddington remains in custody. A judge has ordered her to undergo a mental fitness exam.
The child has been released from the hospital and is back with her father.
