My goodness! It is a miracle that the baby survived after what she went through. Her mother is clearly mentally unstable and was not taking her medication.

GARDNER, Mass. - A woman who believes she was being stalked by a cult has been charged with stabbing her 2-year-old daughter 100 times with scissors, her lawyer and police have said, and can be heard yelling "Die! Die!" on a 911 call. Susan Johnson's screams can be heard on the 911 call made by a security guard who helped to subdue her in a laundry room at a Gardner apartment building Wednesday night. Johnson, 38, also used an electrical cord from a dryer to try and strangle the toddler, police said, but the security guard and two residents separated mother and child just before police arrived.

When he ran to the laundry room he thought the child was already dead because she was limp, covered in blood and had the cord wrapped around her neck. The girl was taken to a hospital suffering from as many as 100 wounds to her head, neck and torso, but many of them were superficial, police Chief Neil Erickson said.

I feel sorry for this two year old who will have to live with the scars on her body knowing they were caused by her mother. I hope that she is given to a loving home where she can learn that not all people attack their loved ones.
I hope the mother is charged with attempted murder and I applaud the security officer who was able to keep this little girl from being murdered.
