A 32-year-old woman in Indiana is facing multiple felonies for allegedly trying to stab her dog for stealing her chicken sandwich only to miss and accidentally stab her 1-year-old niece in the neck.

Sharon C. Key was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with one count of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury and two counts of criminal recklessness committed with a deadly weapon, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

According to a probable cause affidavit, officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department shortly before 11 p.m. on Tuesday responded to a call regarding an injured toddler at the Days Inn located in the 8300 block of Craig Street. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they immediately located a 1-year-old girl who was suffering from what appeared to be a stab wound to the neck.

Emergency medical personnel rushed the child to the Riley Hospital for Children for treatment. Indianapolis Fox affiliate WXIN reported that the child was initially admitted to the facility in critical condition but was later upgraded to stable condition.

dog was probably starving to death - hope the toddler is ok and Mom never allows her sister around her daughter again and hope the dog has been removed to a safe home where they will actually feed him/her

Congratulations to Ms. Key for winning Indiana's "trashiest serious crime" award of 2023!

Seriously, this reads like a mad-libs of being a garbage human being.

Charge her with animal cruelty as well, after all, she meant to stab or possibly kill the dog.
