Cops in Illinois arrested a 26-year-old woman after she allegedly stabbed her 7-year-old son with a kitchen knife because he made a mess overnight.

According to a statement from Chicago police, Llovana Torres has been charged with aggravated battery of a child. The incident happened Saturday morning on the 1700 block of West Touhy Street. As outlined in a court document from the Cook County State Attorney’s Office, Torres had spent the entire night cleaning her apartment. However, upon waking the next morning, she discovered that her son had made the place messy again.

In a fit of anger, Torres allegedly struck the boy multiple times. Seeking refuge, he ran into the kitchen and hid in the cabinet beneath the sink to escape further harm, prosecutors reported. Unable to get her son out, Torres then allegedly grabbed a silver kitchen knife and began stabbing until she heard him cry “ouch,” state attorneys claimed in their filing.

The boy started bleeding and Torres grabbed him and ran downstairs to her mother’s apartment, according to prosecutors. He was suffering from a stab wound to the abdomen and Torres’ mother “demanded” she take him to the hospital “right away.” Torres obliged and rushed him to Evanston Hospital.

Medical personnel airlifted the boy to a children’s hospital where he had to undergo emergency surgery because of a ruptured diaphragm, per prosecutors. The wound required multiple sutures to close. As of Monday, he remained hospitalized with a chest tube/ventilator in place.

Detectives spoke with Torres’ mother and 11-year-old cousin. The cousin allegedly told cops that he heard Torres tell her mother that she had told the victim that if he didn’t come out of the cabinet, she would “cut or stab him,” according to the proffer. After cops arrested Torres, the cousin also allegedly heard Torres tell her mother to “not tell anyone what had happened and to tell a different story,” prosecutors wrote.
