Police reported that a 33-year-old woman named Aurionah-Rakii-Karie Parker-White took three injured children to St. Bernard Hospital. Allegedly, she had stabbed each of them with a sharp object.

The victims, a 1-year-old girl and two boys aged 3 and 5, sustained cuts on their right wrists, as stated by Chicago police. They were later transferred to Comer Children’s Hospital, where their condition was initially described as serious.

Parker-White was placed into custody at the hospital, CPD said.

The suspect three felony counts of attempted first-degree murder and three felony counts of aggravated battery of a child, police said.

An individual interviewed by ABC7 on Wednesday revealed that he had been the one to take the woman and the three youngsters to St. Bernard Hospital, after which the children were further taken to Comer. He mentioned that he chose not to wait for the police before seeking medical assistance for them.

Tow truck driver Devaughen Stringfellow said he saw a baby on the sidewalk and then saw a woman come out with another toddler in her arms followed by an older child. He said all of the children were covered in blood.

“When we was in the back the security guard asked her what happened,” Stringfellow said. “She was like, ‘I did it because I got three different baby daddies and nobody’s trying to help me.’ That’s when he grabbed her and took her and put her in that room.”

Stringfellow said that’s what the woman said as soon as they arrived to St. Bernard Hospital.

Investigators would not say what the relationship was between the three children and the woman, but Stringfellow said one of the most heartbreaking moments as he was taking them to the hospital was hearing this from the 5-year-old boy.

“What’s so bad about it and the little boy told, and this is what hurt me the most, cause the little boy in the truck say, ‘mama don’t cry it’s going to be all right,'” Stringfellow said.

No further information about the stabbings was immediately available.
