A seven-year-old girl fought courageously to shield other children from an attacker who stabbed her 33 times during a dance class in Southport. Despite suffering catastrophic injuries and losing her entire blood volume, she survived two critical operations at Alder Hey hospital. The parents of the girl, along with others affected by the incident, called for substantial changes to prevent similar violence against children in the future. An inquiry is examining missed opportunities that allowed the stabber to carry out these attacks on July 29, resulting in fatalities and injuries.
The parents of a seven-year-old girl who was stabbed 33 times described how their daughter fought like hell to escape after shielding other children from the attacker. She suffered catastrophic injuries when she was set upon by Axel Rudakubana, stabber of multiple children, during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. The young survivor lost her entire blood volume but survived due to two life-saving operations.
The mother and father of the injured girl expressed a desire for meaningful and substantial changes to prevent future tragedies, emphasizing that no other child should experience such horror.
During the inquiry, the chair, Sir Adrian Fulford, emphasized the investigation's aim to examine the missed opportunities to prevent the one of the most egregious crimes in the country’s history related to the attack.
The seven-year-old girl's mother highlighted the bravery of her daughter and other children during the tragic event when her girl shielded others from the attacker using a 17cm kitchen knife.
