BELMONT -- Police have charged a mother and father with assault after the mother repeatedly stabbed her 10-year-old son in the arm with a kitchen knife while the father held the boy on the floor. The mother is alleged to have been upset because the boy and his brother destroyed the woman's favorite stuffed animal.

Police were called to the home by the child's 13-year-old brother who ran out of the house with a cordless phone during the assault and called 911. The incident occurred Sept. 20.

Jacqueline Weiner, 36, of 46 Concord St., Belmont, was arrested and charged with second degree assault and simple assault for allegedly stabbing her son. In an arrest affidavit, police said that in addition to stabbing wounds they found welts on the young boy's right temple and bites on his body including his wrist, shin, breast, leg and neck.

Her husband, Steven Weiner, 48, who is listed in the court affidavit as the stepfather of the child, was arrested and charged with a felony count of criminal liability for conduct of another for allegedly holding the young boy on the floor while the stabbing occurred.

According to the affidavit drawn up by Belmont Police Corporal William Wright, Steven Weiner told police he and his wife had a "heated discussion" with the children earlier in the night.

Jacqueline Weiner, who police said, "appeared to be intoxicated" began to cry after she explained to Wright that the children had destroyed a stuffed animal of hers that she had owned for several years.

Wright stated that just after 8 p.m. on September 20, police received an emergency 911 call from a young boy at the residence asking for assistance because his mother was stabbing his younger brother, according to court documents.

Wright said when he and another officer from the department responded to the house, a Chevrolet pickup truck was beginning to back out of the driveway. Parking the cruiser behind the truck, Wright said he approached the operator of the truck, who he observed to be Steven Weiner. He then saw the young child sitting in the passenger seat.

"I could see the child had been crying and had visible red markings on his neck and face," stated Wright, adding when he asked the boy what had happened he said he had fallen off of his bike.

He had the young boy sit in the back of the police cruiser and Weiner stayed with the truck. Wright said he went and talked to the youngster, who had started to cry again.

"He told me he would tell me the truth as long as I did not allow him to go back to his parents," explained Wright in the affidavit.

Showing the officer his right arm, covered by a blood stained long sleeve shirt, the young child explained to Wright that his mother had been mad with him and stabbed him in the arm.

After calling for an ambulance, he stated that the child pulled up his sleeve and displayed "three distinct puncture wounds on his right forearm."

As the boy was taken by ambulance to the emergency room, his older brother, who had run out of the house with the cordless phone to call police, approached both of the officers in the roadway, explained Wright. When police asked what he saw happen that night, the older child also made mention of their mother being mad at them. He told police, as stated in the affidavit, that she had made his younger brother lie face down on the floor as punishment, then took a steak knife from the kitchen and began stabbing him in the arm. At that point the boy said he left the house with the phone to call the police, according to the affidavit.

After talking with the two boys, Wright said he entered the home and found Steven Weiner in the kitchen. When he asked Weiner about the incident, Weiner mentioned having had a "heated discussion" with the children earlier in the night.

"He spoke of the children negatively and told me that the police have had many negative contacts with the children," Wright explained in the affidavit.

He said he then asked to speak with Mrs. Weiner, who came into the kitchen where he and the other officer were standing, wearing a pair of blue jeans and gray shirt, "both with what appeared to be blood on them. She also had blood on the left palm of her hand."

When asked about the events of the night, she started talking about the boys destroying a stuffed animal that she had owned for many years and then started crying, according to the affidavit. She appeared to be intoxicated and Wright said she would not answer direct questions, Wright said.

When asked about the bloodstains on her clothes, she said she was anemic and had a nosebleed, Wright wrote in the report. She then recanted, Wright said in the affidavit, and said she had paint on her, as she painted for a living.

Wright said he asked Steven Weiner about where the incident took place and he led him and the other officer into the living room and pointed toward the television on the carpet. Wright then went back into the kitchen and found a single black-handled steak knife in a knife block, placed backwards in the block. He pulled the knife out and found hair follicles on the tip, according to the affidavit.

Wright said he gave the couple the opportunity to make a written statement about the incident, and both declined. He then left the home, taking the knife and Jacqueline Weiner's blood-stained clothing as evidence, according to the affidavit.

Later in the evening, Wright said he went to hospital where the young boy was being treated. The child displayed several bite marks, explained Wright, "indicating his mother had done this this evening," Wright said in the affidavit. Among the injuries were welts on the young boy's right temple and bites all over his body including his wrist, shin, breast, leg and neck. In addition, there were three puncture wounds on the top of his right forearm.

The boy also indicated his stepfather had held him on the floor while his mother bit and stabbed him, and that his stepfather did not attempt to help him, Wright said.

The Citizen has learned that the boys were taken into custody by the state, but Belmont Police Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti said he could not confirm that. Pending further investigation of the incident, he also said he did not wish to speak on the case until after the arraignment.

Well, fuck these crazy-ass bitches. Hope they like rape! :D
