Tracy Squaire is one lucky kid. The 12-year old Pensacola boy was stabbed in the head and lived to talk about it.

"I'm still alive," says Squaire. "I didn't get any brain damage."

Squaire says his 14-year old neighbor stabbed him just above the ear during an argument. The young boy has five staples in his head to hold the wound together.

"It was scary," says Squaire. "Just knowing you got stabbed and there was blood everywhere. She just jumped in my face and I pushed her away and then she ran off, grabbed a knife and stabbed me."

Police have arrested the 14-year old girl. She's being held in juvenile detention. A local pastor says both kids are good children.

"She realizes she made a mistake," says Pastor Bishop Locke of the All Saints Holiness Church. "I don't think she thought it'd go this far. My heart goes out to her right now. She's a good girl, very active in church. They're both good kids."

"In the Bible, it says you should love everyone so I forgive her," says Squaire.

If you are Christian, He gave us two commandments. They are pretty inclusive on any situation. Love Mercy.

I remember the Bible saying an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. She made a mistake, but what made her pick up a weapon and use it. This is serious business, it could have been much worse. She is very active in Church, well what is your point here wrong is wrong. “I forgive her she go to church” The Bible says spare the rod and spoil the child. This is a sign of the times.
