Heroic 8-Year-Old Saves Mother by Stabbing Attacker in Florida: Deputies Report Shocking Family Incident

In Orange Park, Florida, a young girl’s courageous act saved her mother from a potentially deadly situation. The Clay County Sheriff’s Office reported that on Monday, an 8-year-old intervened by stabbing her grandmother, who was allegedly attempting to murder the child’s mother.

The incident occurred around 3 p.m. when deputies were called to a disturbance in the 600 block of Reese Avenue in the Oakleaf area. The call prompted a swift response from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.

During the emergency call, the victim, who contacted authorities, could be heard desperately shouting for someone to leave her residence.

According to law enforcement details, the altercation involved the victim and her estranged mother, 62-year-old Serpil Adams. Authorities stated that Adams had arrived at her daughter’s home without invitation, leading to the violent confrontation.

Investigators said the victim was at home with her two young children when Adams entered the home through an unlocked door and attacked her daughter with a serrated utility knife.

According to deputies, in an attempt to protect her mother, the victim’s 8-year-old daughter, Adams’ granddaughter, retrieved a kitchen knife and stabbed Adams in the upper arm.

Deputies said Adams then fled the area in her vehicle and returned to Jacksonville, where she had been staying with a friend.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office located Adams at the friend’s residence and arrested her. She has been charged with attempted 2nd degree murder.

Neither the victim nor her children were injured during the incident.
