Boy Stabs Sister Over Chicken Pot Pie
Thursday, February 10, 2005

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — A 12-year-old boy stabbed his sister in the arm in an argument over a chicken pot pie, authorities said.

The boy is charged as a juvenile with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and assault with a dangerous weapon, said Robert A. Holmes, senior assistant Isabella County prosecutor.

The alleged attack took place Monday evening at the siblings' home in Mount Pleasant.

"They were having a brother-sister argument," Officer Michael G. Covarrubias told The Saginaw News for a story Wednesday. "This is going to make them sound stupid, but they were arguing over a chicken pot pie."

When the 13-year-old girl refused to give up the microwavable pie, her brother drew a nine-inch folding knife and attacked, Covarrubias said.

"They were just arguing over the pot pie, and she said her brother became very upset and pulled out this knife and swung at her," he said. "It appeared she put her arm up to block it, and then she got stabbed."

Medics treated the girl at the scene for an inch-long forearm gash, Covarrubias said. The siblings' 35-year-old mother apparently broke up the fight and called police, he said. Authorities did not release the mother's or children's names.

how terrible

i really can't believe what goes on these days

I knew a boy who smashed his tv in because his mum wouldn't let him watch "teenage mutant ninja turtles".....

Poor boy, he must be scared shitless at what he did.

But ya gotta look where it's coming from - the parent(s)..

so sad, isnt it ?

seriously though, i get nervous everytime my kids go at it, just because it only takes a split second for someone to get really hurt. these poor mothers end up with a child that has been hurt (killed in some cases) and another child that is locked up. i have sat both of my kids down and talked with them about sibling fighting (in a way its normal, i did it when i was young) but, it has gotten so out of control these days... its scary to think that not only are these children out of control in their homes... but, they will also be walking the streets some day if you cant keep yourself together over a chicken pot pie.. what the hell will they do in the real world ????

That would make a great commercial...

"Stouffers Chicken Pot Pie, So good, people will kill for them..."

Seriously tho, those things are like a buck a piece, and it takes 2 min in the microwave. They probabbly have some serious issues between eachother, far beyond chicken pot pie...

Sounds like that kid has a long bumpy road ahead

WHAT?

A one inch gash?



Yea, call the police and alert the papers - siblings fight.

You don't get a gash from a stab!

Admitedly the nine inch folding knife is a bit bothersome.

No Kitty That's MY Pot Pie!


But really... What is the matter with people today?

well its very sad, why would he pick up a knife? sounds like he has a temper problem. Lord knows what would happen when he grows up and somebody stole his car or something, he just might start a nuclear war...
