A 26-year-old woman was charged Wednesday with felony murder in the stabbing death of her daughter at their Detroit home just days before the girl's ninth birthday.
The mother, Semeria Greene, was also charged with one count of first-degree child abuse. Greene's four young sons have been turned over to Child Protective Services, police spokeswoman Sgt. Eren Stephens said.
Neighbors called police to the Greene family's apartment just east of downtown in the early hours of Sunday morning. Officers arrived to discover Tameria Greene bleeding and unresponsive on the floor. She had been stabbed in the chest with a knife and was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital. Semeria Greene was taken into custody."This is only the second day of the year and we are charging a parent with a child homicide," said Kym Worthy, county prosecutor. "This case is made even more profoundly sad because today would have been Tameria's ninth birthday".
Tameria Greene, 8, was allegedly stabbed to death by her mother just days before her 9th birthday.
State child welfare workers have known of problems with the family for at least two years and have unsuccessfully tried to take Semeria Greene's children into protective custody, said Michigan Department of Human Services Director Maura Corrigan. She said an expedited internal review after the death showed that case workers have been trying to protect the children and act on concerns raised by family, friends and neighbors.
"Most recently, DHS petitioned the court Nov. 28, unsuccessfully, to remove Tameria and her siblings from her mother's home," Corrigan said in a statement. She said the department "continued to provide court-ordered counseling services to the family as well as conducting in-home visits, the last of which occurred only two days before Tameria's death."
"We share the grief felt by her loved ones and her community," Corrigan said.
Tributes are left in honor of Tameria Greene, 8, who was allegedly stabbed to death by her mother.

This is just depressing, and slightly angering, especially considering people tried to help this child and the government failed. It just really saddens me when people know a situation is bad and cannot (or just fail to) help.
I pray that this girl rest in peace, and for her family and friends who lost her.

tsk, people now are certainly much more scarier than other things in this world. Why the hell would a mother kill her own daughter?! This year is going to be perfect *note: sarcasm*

I live in Michigan about 45 minutes away from Detroit, and I hate to say this, nut I see it on the local fox 2 news every morning. People re shot and stabbed in horrible conditions every day. That does not make this any better, but it happens every day on the news. It's depressing, but you learn to get numb to it.

That's depressing, and it makes me angry to see a mother kill her daughter in cold blood like that. And if the mother was charged with child abuse, the government should have done a better job of taking care of her children. I'm going to pray for the other children and the mom; hopefully the mom will have a restored and clear mind.

This is just horrible. This beautiful and innocent young girl was killed by her own mother just before her birthday. I hope that the girl will rest in peace and that her family will be alright.
