A trans-identifying man in Canada is on the streets again after he was arrested for allegedly stabbing his two young children earlier this month, leaving the eight-year-old on a feeding tube.

Alice Micheal Attwood, 35, was charged with aggravated assault after his two children suffered knife wounds on February 19 in Grand Prairie, Alberta.

One child, age eight, was taken to the hospital with a severed esophagus and will be on a feeding tube for several months. The other child, age seven, suffered minor knife wounds. Both children are reportedly in stable condition.

Attwood identifies as a “transwoman” and “genderfluid,” as well as a “leftist,” and uses “they/she/he” pronouns, according to multiple posts on his social media accounts.

Attwood was initially arrested and released with a court date. However, his family was concerned he was still a safety threat, so they successfully petitioned for a psychiatric hold that allows a doctor to keep someone for 30 days. Attwood was kept in the hospital for several days, but he was released again on Tuesday, earlier than his family hoped.

In a Facebook live video recorded by a man who confronted Attwood at his home after the incident, Attwood identified himself by name and appeared to admit to hurting his children.

“I felt super stuck, and so I stabbed my child ’cause I was scared we were going to get picked up by human traffickers,” Attwood told the man recording.

“I stabbed my daughter in the shoulder, that’s what I did, above her clavicle,” Attwood said. “I felt like I was possessed or something, like I lost my mind.”

Attwood said he did not intend to kill his children but that he wanted to “get my kids out of this situation.”

“So why’d you stab your kid? To get them out of what situation?” the man recording asked.

“Being f***ing stuck with me,” Attwood responded. “I’ve been trying to tell people, I can’t just have these kids.”

“I was a good parent,” he added later.

“I feel like I got f***ing isolated here,” he said, adding that people are rarely able to watch his children and that his car is broken.

Later in the video, Attwood said he “wanted to have my kids before I transitioned” and that “being trans isn’t a mental problem. I have other mental problems.”

“Just do some soul-searching man, and pray to God, man, and repent,” the man recording told him.

“I am, I am,” Attwood responded.

In one post, Attwood said he had been on leave from work for years and collects government disability benefits from his EMT job with Alberta Health Services.

A GoFundMe account for Attwood set up last year raised about $1,640. On the fundraiser page, Attwood described struggling to care for his two youngest children by himself while being separated from his partner, ending up homeless twice, and suffering with fibromyalgia.

He described wanting to get certifications for some kind of work, but said “I don’t have the energy to get into a regular workforce job again.”

Attwood said he also made money giving “oracle readings” to people, according to social media posts.

On his YouTube channel, Attwood has recorded lengthy “podcasts” with various LGBT guests that garnered a few dozen views each.

His social media is filled with pro-transgender and anti-Trump posts, as well as videos of himself talking about political issues.

Attwood has a court date on March 13 in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
