A woman was arrested on suspicion of child abuse after she allegedly threw a knife at her 13-year-old son because he refused to go to school. The incident happened on Tuesday in Lake Worth. When police got to the home, the victim spoke with police. Police noticed that there was a puncture hole in the victim’s shirt, with blood around the area. There was also a puncture wound to his arm. The victim says the incident started because he didn’t want to go to school. He then told police that the argument escalated to him being chased by the suspect, Omega Griffin. The victim said that when he was trying to get away from Griffin, she threw a kitchen knife at him, causing the wound to his left arm. The victim was treated on the scene. Officials said the wound was consistent with being sliced by a sharp object. When police spoke with Griffin, she said that her son is “a truant and does not want to go to school.” She told police that he became combative and disrespectful when she tried to get him to leave the house. Griffin then said she started chasing him around the house with Christmas lights in her hand, but she did not hit him. She then said she threw an adapter at the victim, but that didn’t hit him. She denied ever having thrown a knife at her son. Griffin was eventually arrested. She is facing aggravated child abuse charges.
