A Bradford woman is in McKean County Jail for allegedly threatening Children and Youth Services caseworkers with a knife.
Bradford City Police say they were called to the home of 38 year old Crystal Dawn Knell Thursday afternoon to assist CYS workers who had a court order to remove children from the residence.
When an officer arrived, he was told by the caseworkers that Knell had become “distraught and combative,” grabbing a caseworker and shoving her backward. Knell then allegedly grabbed a large kitchen knife, waved it at the caseworkers, and held it up to one caseworker’s throat.
Knell was sent to McKean County Jail in lieu of $15,000 bail.
Having your children removed from the home would probably enrage most anyone, however, pulling weapons out and holding someone at knifepoint seriously hurts your chances of getting those kids back into the home in the near future. What are people thinking?
Id do anything to protect my kids from those child traffickers too cus well the ones who all got fired for falsified statements and tampering with urin screens and lying in court are the ones i had to deal with abd they ruined my life if i had the money for a lawyer i could have a case just sayin but if she truly wasnt taking care if then n was high when this happened she deserves to have them taken n be in jail
Couldnt happen to anyone better these people take children away from loving parents those people have their own agenda and protecting our children isnt one of them. They remove children from homes and place them in a home with strangers then make the parents life a living hell. Idk the circumstances around the removal of the children but from experience these caseworkers lie so much and ruin peoples lives it isnt funny. They need to be defunded and taken down.
