HOUSTON—The woman accused of stabbing two children has been appointed an attorney to represent her case.

Bond has not been set for Regina Umagat, because the judge is trying to determine if the Guam native is a flight risk.

A neighbor said Umagat, 28, ran to her home Wednesday night, covered in blood, confessing to having stabbed her two young cousins.

Investigators said Umagat was watching the kids at their grandparents’ home on Greens Road when the stabbings occurred.

The victims – a 10-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl – were still hospitalized Friday.

The boy is said to be in serious condition, but he’s been able to talk with investigators.

The girl is in critical condition with a punctured lung.

Umagat has been charged with two counts of injury to a child.
