Concerns were raised for Caroline Cruz, the teenage daughter of Republican US Senator Ted Cruz, after reports about 14-year-old girl at the property suffering from self-inflicted stab wounds to her arms surfaced on social media. The police and medical personnel were called to the Senator's Texas home even though the identity of the victim wasn't revealed.

Caroline Came Out at Bi-Sexual Last Year
The Daily Beast reported that the young girl was taken to the hospital. Responding to the outlet, a representative for Cruz's office said that it was a family matter, and thankfully the Senator's daughter is okay.
"There were no serious injuries. The family requests that the media respect their daughter's privacy at this time," said the rep.
Cruz has two daughters, Catherine, 11, and Caroline, 14. Last year in a TikTok video Caroline had posted a video disclosing her sexual identity as bisexual. It isn't the first time that Senator's relationship with his daughter has hit public eye.

Caroline was seen refusing to hug her father during the 2016 presidential campaign trail. The video shows the teenager flinching and shouting 'Ow Ow Ow' as Cruz went on to hug and kiss her forcibly.
Social Media Offers Support, Bashes Cruz
I don’t know what the hell happened at Ted Cruz house tonight but he can at least know that the head of Twitter and fellow senators won’t spread scurrilous lies about his daughter like the Pelosi family endured. https://t.co/Gf3fQtJuCv

Even though the authorities refused to disclose the identity of the girl, social media was flooded with messages concerning Caroline Cruz along with bashing up the Republican.
No one is gleeful of her pain. I truly wish her all the best and am sad it came to this.

I would not say this even of most Republicans, but Ted Cruz is a mendacious, selfish, malicious scumbag
who spends most of his time spreading hateful lies.
That's not good for any child.
"A 14 year old female child that lives in Texas came out last year as bisexual. Tonight she attempted suicide. This is what the hateful laws against the LGBTQ+ do to children. This child is Ted Cruz's daughter," tweeted a user.
She came out as bisexual and said she doesn’t agree with what her father’s politics. She is a better person at 14 than Ted cruz could even dream of being. She deserves so much better than him.

"To Ted Cruz's daughter. There's a whole country of love and support for you and your feelings. Everything you feel is valid. These are hard years, and sometimes our families don't support us in the ways that we need, but there is a tribe for you out there no matter how you feel," tweeted another user.
The only thing I'm going to say about the stabbing at Ted Cruz's house is...if it's his daughter, I hope she is okay, and maybe Ted should retire, become a better person, and spend more time with his children.

"Imagine having a father who has made a political career out of being anti-LGBTQ and then coming out as bisexual at 14. I can't imagine what Ted Cruz has put his daughter through. That child deserves love and I'm praying for her to be okay," expressed another user.
Terrible news! I hope that Ted Cruz’s daughter is okay and she has a quick and full recovery. pic.twitter.com/8ZvLYuG3dS
