First responders swarmed the home of Sen. Ted Cruz last night, responding to reports of an unnamed 14-year-old with self-inflicted stab wounds on her arms.
Representatives for the senator have since issued a statement:
This is a family matter, and thankfully their daughter is OK. There were no serious injuries.
The family requests that the media respect their daughter's privacy at this time.
Cruz and his wife have two daughters, ages 11 and 14.
Houston's KHOU-TV has more:
Sources with the Houston Police Department said they showed up at Cruz's house after getting a “self-inflicted cutting” call.
When police got there, they said they determined nothing criminal happened and they left.
One person was taken to a hospital for treatment. Their condition is unknown but they're expected to be OK, according to police.

Thoughts and prayers for the girl and family.
Get off, be on topic or shut up boy
“Cutting” is the latest fad and attention-getter among teenaged girls. They don’t “stab”, they just put superficial cuts on their arms with some sharp object. If they cut a vein or artery, these cuts can be serious. Psychological interventions are called for. Our neighbor’s 15-year-old daughter spent three days in the nut-house for cutting.
It’s not easy being 14 in these times of Chinese Communist TikTok.
