How two children in Spartanburg County sustained reported knife injuries—and what happened before deputies arrived—remains unclear. WSPA 7News, citing the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office, reported that deputies found the children unattended during a welfare check on the 1400 block of Bud Arthur Bridge Road. The children were taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center for treatment and evaluation; further details about their condition were not provided.
A parent was detained for questioning, but no charges had been filed at the time of WSPA’s report. The sheriff’s office said the investigation was ongoing. The account did not identify how the injuries occurred or say whether the South Carolina Department of Social Services is involved.
What the state agency’s role covers
The South Carolina Department of Social Services says its Investigations unit handles reports of child abuse and neglect involving parents, guardians and caregivers. That describes the agency’s general remit; it does not establish that DSS is participating in this case. The circumstances of the children’s injuries and any next steps in the sheriff’s investigation have not been disclosed.
