A six-year-old boy faces possible amputation after an alleged attack on him and his three-year-old sister in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Prosecutors said his injuries could require the removal of fingers and possibly an arm, while the children's grandmother believes he suffered more injuries because he tried to protect his sister.
Their mother, Taylor Gosnell, 35, faces two counts of attempted murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Investigators said the children suffered about 50 stab wounds between them during an overnight attack before they were found on 26 September. Gosnell has not been convicted.
