Authorities say the woman was treated at a Dallas hospital for a non-life-threatening wound.
According to police, the boy and his mom had an argument Monday night. He pretended to apologize Tuesday, but instead stabbed her while they embraced. The mother ran to her bedroom, locked the door and called 911.
A police spokesman said the boy's identity is being withheld because of his age, but he faces a juvenile charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
