Grether Leidy Guadarramas Pena, 41, was arrested for allegedly assaulting a young male relative after discovering his homosexual messages on Discord. The boy's brother revealed the messages, leading to a confrontation where Pena cut the boy's arm with a knife while another family member restrained him. Pena also cut the boy's hair and later refused to cooperate with police. She faces felony child abuse charges, with a judge finding probable cause.
