Wisconsin Girl Accused Of Stabbing Father In Face Over Online Relationship

TWIN LAKES, Wis. (AP) -- A 14-year-old Kenosha County girl is accused of stabbing her father in the face after they argued about her online relationship.

Police were called to an apartment in Twin Lakes Sunday where they found the wounded father. Investigators say they learned the 38-year-old man and his daughter were arguing about the online relationship before she attacked him in the living room.

WITI-TV reports the girl's mother told police she heard the man yell and saw her daughter standing near her father with two large kitchen knives.

Authorities say the man was able to hold the girl down on the floor while the mother called police. The father was treated at a hospital.

The girl was arrested and taken to a juvenile detention facility.
