Horror on Jamieson Avenue: Mother Charged After Stabbing Her Three Sleeping Children
A quiet neighborhood was shattered in the early hours of the morning when tragedy struck a family on Jamieson Avenue. At approximately 5:20 a.m., a mother launched a brutal knife attack on her own children—aged 10, 13, and 16—as they lay sleeping, turning their home into a scene of unimaginable horror.
By the time their father intervened, blood had pooled beneath the children’s beds. His desperate efforts stopped the mother from taking her own life, and he quickly dialed emergency services. Paramedics and police arrived to find a devastating sight: the children wounded, their mother critically injured from self-inflicted wounds, and a family torn apart.
Of the three victims, the eldest—16 years old—suffered the most severe wounds. Confined to her bed due to paraplegia, she was unable to escape the attack, leaving her with deep injuries that could have easily been fatal. Miraculously, all three children survived and are currently receiving treatment at Westmead Hospital, where they continue their painful recovery.
The mother, now under strict police guard at a medical facility, faces multiple charges of attempted murder. Authorities have yet to determine what led to the shocking act of violence, but mental health concerns are being explored as a possible factor. Investigators are speaking with the father, the only uninjured member of the household, who is left reeling from the devastation of what was once a loving family home.
Neighbors remain in shock. Those who knew the family describe them as decent, quiet, and involved in the community. “You never think something like this could happen to people you know,” one neighbor said. “It’s just heartbreaking.”
As the children fight to heal physically, the emotional scars of that morning will take far longer to fade. The father, now burdened with the unimaginable task of piecing together the remnants of his family, faces a future forever marked by this horrific event.
The community grieves with them, sending thoughts and prayers to the young victims who endured a nightmare they will never forget.
