A Wisconsin mother was allegedly stabbed several times by her own daughter in the parking lot of a Chick-fil-A.
Kimberly King, 39, was knifed following a heated argument with Shyanniah Ma'ree Johnson, 21, police said.
The two got into a fight over Johnson's behavior while they were driving home from Florida to Milwaukee with King's young son and her grandson last month.
King said she decided to pull into a Chick-fil-A parking lot in Acworth, Georgia after it looked like her daughter wanted to hit her.
'She put my hair down and just started just stabbing me. She stabbed me multiple times. She stabbed me all over my head, my arms, my shoulders,' King told Fox 5.
Johnson reportedly stabbed her mother around 10 times. Deputies said the mother ran inside the fast food restaurant after the stabbing where officers already inside the premises were able to call an ambulance.
Johnson was taken to jail but subsequently released by Cherokee County judge, Shannon Wallace on a $3,000 bond.
Mother Fears for Safety After Daughter's ReleaseKing told Fox 5 her daughter's release has left her fearful, she said: 'I do not feel safe. I'm upset they let her out.'
King was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital the sheriff’s office said in a news release.
Johnson, who obtained a leg injury during the fight, allegedly drove away with the two children still inside the car.
Officers later located the car in Whitfield County and took Johnson to Hamilton Medical Center in Dalton, before she was moved to jail.
Court records show that she was charged with aggravated assault and two counts of third-degree cruelty to children.
King is a manicurist and said on a GoFundMe she set up that the attack has left her hands paralyzed.
'My hands were my career, my independence, and the way I cared for my children. In minutes, all of that was taken,' she said.
Mother Details Family HistoryKing claims that she needs assistance bathing, preparing food, getting dressed and 'caring for my three-year-old son.'
King also wrote that her own mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and stabbed her grandmother when King was six years old.
'My daughter has not been diagnosed with any condition, and I am not claiming she has one,' King writes.
'But she and my mother shared behaviors that, in hindsight, were warnings I didn't know how to interpret.'
The two children are in the custody of the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services in Whitfield County.
A lawyer for Johnson declined to comment.
The Daily Mail contacted Judge Wallace, the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office and King for comment.
