The 28-year-old and her husband Thomas Booth have three children, a 2-year-old and two 6-month-old twins.
When officers arrived at the Olympia, Washington home on Saturday night, they found a troubling scene. As spelled out by a local prosecutor, police saw the twins on the couch crying “uncontrollably” and “bleeding from their necks.”
One officer then went upstairs and found the couple’s 2-year-old in bed, under the covers with “dry blood all over her.”
All three were transported to a local hospital, where CNN affiliate KOMO reports they underwent surgery. They are now in stable condition and will be placed in protective custody.

Tiffany Felch, who has spent time with the pair, told KOMO, “I would have never suspected that she would be a person to take this kind of a drastic action. I can’t imagine what stress she must have been under to cause her to do such a thing.”
KOMO reported that neighbors say Christina Booth was normally social, but changed after the birth to twins.
Neighbor Tammy Ramsey expressed concern to KOMO about the potential for missed opportunities to help the family.
“Why weren’t we knocking on the door” she said. “I think that we need to rally and love to understand and not to judge.”
