In a shocking case of domestic violence in Louisiana, a 6-year-old boy is currently fighting for his life after being stabbed multiple times by his 37-year-old stepfather, identified as P. Greene, a local teacher.
The horrific attack occurred in front of seven other children inside their home, leaving the community reeling from the brutality of the assault. Greene has been charged with several offenses, and authorities are expecting more charges as the investigation continues.
The Violent Incident
The incident took place last week, when deputies responded to a call about a domestic disturbance at a residence. Upon arrival, they encountered a chaotic scene, discovering the 6-year-old boy suffering from multiple stab wounds to his face, neck, and chest.
Sheriff B. Guidroz confirmed that the child’s injuries were life-threatening. The boy, who has been battling brain cancer, is in critical condition, and concerns about his recovery have deepened due to his pre-existing medical condition.
According to law enforcement, Greene was combative and resistant when officers attempted to take him into custody. He was subdued and arrested at the scene.
The violence reportedly stemmed from a violent argument between Greene and his wife, the boy’s mother. While the details of the argument remain undisclosed, it escalated into a brutal stabbing in front of seven other children in the household.
The Victim and the Aftermath
The young boy, whose name has not been released for privacy reasons, was initially taken to a hospital and later airlifted for emergency treatment. He remains in the intensive care unit, having undergone multiple surgeries.
As of the latest reports, the boy’s condition is still critical, with authorities expressing deep concern about his ability to recover due to the severity of his injuries and his ongoing battle with brain cancer.
Sheriff Guidroz expressed his sorrow, saying, “Our profound sympathies are with the family, and our prayers are for the young child.”
Children Witnessing the Attack
Seven other children were reportedly present in the home during the attack. None of them were physically harmed, but the sheriff’s office emphasized that all of the children were in grave danger during the incident.
Public Information Officer M. LeBlanc confirmed that the children were from previous relationships of both Greene and the boy’s mother. The injured boy is Greene’s step-son.
Following the incident, all seven children have been placed into family custody as the investigation continues. The authorities have raised concerns about the mental well-being of the children who witnessed such a horrific act of violence.
Charges and Greene’s Employment Status
Greene, who works as a high school teacher and coach, has been placed on leave from his position pending the outcome of the case. He has been charged with:
- Domestic abuse battery with child endangerment
- Two counts of aggravated assault
- Resisting an officer
However, more charges are expected as detectives continue to review body camera footage, witness statements, and interviews. LeBlanc emphasized that the investigation is ongoing and urged anyone with further information to contact Crime Stoppers at 337-948-8477, assuring anonymity for tips.
Community Impact and Response
The attack has sent shockwaves through the local community, leaving residents shocked and heartbroken. The school district where Greene worked has reportedly offered support services for both students and staff affected by the news of his arrest.
The community is still grappling with the devastating nature of the crime, particularly considering the vulnerability of the victims and the fact that the attack occurred in front of young children.
As the young boy continues to battle for his life in the hospital, the entire community is holding its breath, hoping for a miracle while demanding justice for the innocent child.
