Deputies Arrest Mom Accused of Attacking Children with Knife

Prosecutors said the children suffered severe lacerations and the 6-year-old may need an amputation.

  • On Saturday, Spartanburg County Sheriff deputies arrested Taylor Gosnell, 35, after discovering her two children, ages 3 and 6, severely injured at a residence on Bud Arthur Bridge Road. She faces two counts of attempted murder.
  • Deputies responded to the residence following a welfare check request from Gosnell's ex-boyfriend and discovered the two children "covered in blood" and suffering from "countless lacerations." Authorities determined the attack occurred the night before police were notified.
  • During Sunday's hearing, prosecutors stated the victims sustained "very severe injuries," with lacerations "so deep they cut to the bone." The 6-year-old faces potential amputation of fingers and possibly an arm.
  • Officials reported Gosnell was "speaking rapidly and in a distressing manner" and told responders she was experiencing "visions." A judge denied bond on Sunday, and she was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center.
  • If convicted on both charges, Gosnell could face a combined maximum sentence of 60 years. Both children are receiving treatment at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center and remain in stable condition, expected to recover.
