LAUDERHILL - A mute autistic child may be permanently blind following an attack Friday at his home where his aunt jammed a large knife into the boy's eyes, authorities said. The woman then stabbed herself in the eye, police said.

The boy, 12, was being evaluated by eye specialists at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami late Friday, officials said. Lauderhill Fire-Rescue paramedics who treated the boy Friday morning said that when they found him he could not see.

Earlier, the boy was left helpless for about 10 hours as other relatives in the home failed to call 911 following the attack at 1 a.m., said Lt. Rick Rocco, Lauderhill police spokesman. It was unclear what led to the delay in calling for help, officials said.

Terrible. Insert banjo music here, probably a little inbreeding going on.
