Jesus, this woman has control issues and big problems. And now she's stabbing kids over it.

I think she stands a decent chance of getting acquitted. Unknown person in the house semi naked with her daughter. Nobody explains what is going on. Neither the boy nor the daughter admitted he was a boyfriend and it was consensual.

Honestly, I can see this going either way.

nah, you read her sequence of events - she chased him out of the house, told her kid to grab a knife and stabbed him - repeatedly - at the door...we don't have castle doctrine down here, precedent is not going to land on her side.
