In a recent interview that took place in a jailhouse, the woman accused of stabbing three newborn babies and two adults inside a child care center in New York City told a reporter that she had stabbed the infants because she thought they were wolves. Yu Fen Wang spoke to a newspaper in an interview from Rikers Island and has apologized for stabbing the five victims.

The 52-year-old has been charged with five counts of attempted murder for the violence that she caused inside the Mei Xin Care Center in Queens. The center provides 24 hours care for mothers and their newborn babies so that the mother may stay indoors and rest. The practice is traditional and common in East and Southeast Asia. It is called 'zou yue ci' or 'sitting the month'.
