A grandmother is in custody, facing charges after her grandson was allegedly stabbed to death by her daughter.
Mary Johnson was booked with child endangerment after summoning the police to the home of her daughter, Monica Figueroa, in the early hours of March 13, CBS 19 reported. When police arrived on scene, they found 4-year-old Grayson Hurt, Johnson’s grandson, dead and partially covered with a blanket, the outlet reported.
The Henderson County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) said in their preliminary investigation that Johnson had witnessed Figueroa allegedly stabbing her son the previous day with a wooden-handled knife as he was wrapped in a blanket.
“Johnson heard the child screaming before she observed Figueroa cutting at the blanket and then the screaming stopped,” Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse stated, according to the outlet. “Figueroa threatened Johnson and instructed her to leave which she did.” (RELATED: Mom Allegedly Stabs 3-Year-Old Daughter To Death)
When Johnson returned the next day, she found Hurt dead and called the authorities.
Authorities initially believe that Hurt was killed with an “edged weapon” and his body was transported to Dallas for an official autopsy, the outlet stated.
Figueroa reportedly confessed to murdering the boy while being questioned by investigators. She is currently in custody and is awaiting arraignment at the Henderson County Jail, the outlet stated.
Johnson was also placed under arrest at the Henderson County Jail following a warrant from District Court Judge Scott McKee on charges of child endangerment. She is awaiting arraignment.
Which state?
Looks like North Carolina, western edge.................
“with a wooden-handled knife “
How is that important?
Because if it was metal handled, it would’ve been an assault knife?
Why is the grandmother charged with child endangerment? She called the police when she felt safe to do so. Yes her grandson was already dead but she was apparently threatened by an actual knife wielding murderer.
You win the internets!
Sure, if the child was still alive when she left and she didn’t report it, that is child endangerment, but they are going to have to prove the child wasn’t already dead. Otherwise it’s just some lesser charge like failure to report a crime. I suppose they could try “accessory after the fact” but that would seem to be hard to justify since she’s the one who alerted the authorities.
That’s what I can’t figure out. He was already dead when she was told to leave........................
They need to make it clear that it wasn’t one of those scary, black-handled assault knives.
Well, the mother was the danger to the child, and the grandmother created the mother, so she thereby created the danger?
That scene requires more napalm.
Maybe these two should open a gender daycare in California, i would be a hit.
Or a Late, late, late, late term abortion clinic..................
Poor little baby. Stabbed to death by his own mother. What agony.
I hope and trust he is in Jesus’ arms as we speak.
He was 4, so yes he’s with The Lord NOW..................
This was just a 16th trimester abortion. What’s the big deal?
The child is living in paradise somewhere the mother will never see, except at her judgement and hand over to Satan.
Texas, unfortunately.
Yes, oh yes. Jesus took him home. A demon possessed mom and grandma!
