According to Baltimore City Police, Thomas was attending a supervised visitation session at an East Baltimore Social Services office Tuesday when she suddenly pulled out a long knife and began repeatedly stabbing her 8-month-old daughter.
Investigators say Thomas, who does not have custody of her daughter, complained about the care her daughter was receiving and told the Social Services worker that she could do a better job caring for the child.
When the worker informed Thomas that the visitation session was about to end, Thomas allegedly laid the child down on a table and stated "It is about to be over."
That's when Thomas reached into a bag, pulled out a long kitchen knife and began savagely stabbing the child in the neck and body.
Thomas continued to stab the child until another Social Services worker struck Thomas with a chair to end the assault. The worker pulled the knife from the baby's neck and rushed her to safety.
The baby, identified as Pretty Diamond, sustained at least 5 stab wounds to her face, neck and body.
Witnesses told police Thomas was heard stating "Lock me up. If I can't have her, no one will. I hope she's dead."
Thomas was booked into jail and charged with attempted murder, child abuse and assault.
