Where are the calls for knife control?
"Mother, with baby, stabbed in Savin Hill" by Haven Orecchio-Egresitz and Todd Feathers | Globe Correspondents, April 01, 2013
A young mother was stabbed repeatedly, apparently while pushing her baby in a stroller, in Dorchester Monday afternoon, a witness to the shocking attack said, a grim scene with the stroller and sidewalk covered in blood.
In a similar scene in the state of Georgia just a few weeks earlier, a mother was attacked while pushing her baby boy in a stroller down a Beaumont street. The 13-month-old was shot and killed....

Police arrested a 17-year-old woman, Samia Jones, in the attack and charged her with intent to murder. She will be arraigned Tuesday in Dorchester District Court.
No additional details were available....
Also in Dorchester on Monday, just hours before the stabbing, a man was shot and taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital with life-threatening injuries, Boston police said....
No information was available Monday night on the man’s condition, and no arrests had been made, police said.
Winthrop Elementary School at 35 Brookford St., went into lockdown for one hour, and no one was allowed in or out of the building while police searched for the shooter, said Lee McGuire, spokesman for the Boston public school system.
Hmmmmmm!

Looks like it was a busy day in Dorchester.
NEXT DAY UPDATE:
"Striking a defiant pose during the hearing, Samia Jones made obscene gestures toward the media and stuck out her tongue. Defense attorney Alyssa Pelletier entered a not-guilty plea on her behalf. “She is 17 years old; she is still a child,” Pelletier told Judge Robert McKenna as she argued for a $2,000 cash bail."
With a child by a man who was also the father of the baby in a stroller?
