The backstory:

Germantown police were called to an apartment on Legend Avenue, just south of Catskill Lane, for a stabbing on the morning of June 15. 

Officers arrived and spoke to a 15-year-old girl, who said her mother was bleeding. The 41-year-old woman was then taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. The girl was taken to Children's Wisconsin for injuries of her own.
