The mother of a\u00a0Linden teen stabbed<\/a>\u00a0to her back outside the Linden Foundation Secondary School on Thursday afternoon wants justice.<\/p>\n

Dane Lyte, the mother of 15-year-old Shashamani Williams, who was stabbed by another schoolmate, said the teen who is responsible should face the full penalty for the crime.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cI need justice\u2026I would claim that is [attempted] manslaughter; the child isn\u2019t walking\u2026I need something out of this matter, I need justice,\u201d Lyte, of Central Amelia\u2019s Ward, Linden told the News Room in a telephone interview.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Williams was stabbed to her back on Thursday afternoon injuring her diaphragm, muscles and tendons, her left lung, spleen and her stomach.<\/p>\n

Williams was engaged in a fight with a 13-year-old student of the school when the child\u2019s 15-year-old sister stabbed her in the back with a hunting knife.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Lyte told the News Room that her daughter\u2019s condition is improving though she is in the Intensive Care Unit at the Linden Hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said everything is ok, she improving and I just keep praying,\u201d her mother said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The woman is still attempting to get details of what transpired as she was not around when the incident occurred.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Lyte, however, said this is not the first time such incidents are occurring at the school.<\/p>\n

The woman said her 19-year-old son was also injured at the school during a previous incident. She said she was not able to contact the Welfare Department in all of the matters.<\/p>\n

She alleged that a male student is involved in the incident stating that it was the boy who forced her daughter and the other female student to start fighting.<\/p>\n

The incident was recorded and went viral on social media and the police has since\u00a0arrested the sisters<\/a>, aged 13 and 15, involved in the incident.<\/p>\n
