“The mom just stabbed a little boy multiple times in his back,” the caller said to 911. “The mom brought her son up here to fight him [...] Y’all need to get up here because he’s trying to leave.”

Police confirmed that a male victim was taken to the hospital with injuries.

Tiara Wright who lives in Dayton says she works with youth daily. Wright saw the video on Facebook.

“It’s really disheartening,” Wright said. “Seeing adults acting that way gives them an opportunity or a vision to think that it’s okay for them to act the same way, and that’s kind of very sad.”

Wright says adults should set an example, and this was not a good one to set.

“We’re supposed to be supplying or providing an atmosphere or an environment where our kids in the community can thrive,” Wright said.

News Center 7 has reached out to police to see if they have identified the woman in the video and if she is facing charges.
