Another tragic dog mauls baby story.:mad: Nobody knows how this could
have happened with three adults in the home at the time. Something is very
very wrong here & that poor child is dead & the puppy will also be put down.
Nobody can tell me the adults wouldn't have heard the babies screams.:mad:

WTH are these people thinking?
They showed the distraught 17-year-old mother, did they say the father was 19? Can you say "Not yet responsible enough for parenthood?" Why didn't at least the grandmother have some concern (old enough to have raised at least one child to teenager age), and stop the incident? I would not be at all surprised if substance abuse comes into the picture, how else could they all
a) leave the child alone in a swing at that age? He was 8 1/2 weeks old!
b) Leave a 6-week-old puppy unsupervised?
c) Not hear either the pup or the baby making noise?
I hate even more so... how they make it looked like an actual "attack"... which I donīt buy at all... no pup "attacks"..... one thing might have lead to the other but calling it attack is just plain sick...
adn as Karen sid how in the world they left the 8.5 week baby ALONE in a swing... in a complete UNATTENDED situation...come on...
a two month baby is no where near capable of being left alone even less in a swing....it takes merely 2 seconds for something to happen....
so sad for the baby.... having those "parents" and sorry about pup.... poor babies left with soooo ignorant and irresponsibel persons...
Very tragic.
I placed my son in a swing from the day he came home from the hospital. The child was 2 months old, how is that too young for a swing? They are infant swings. Much beyond 4 months or so and the infant is too big/weight wise for it.
I think I was thinking regular swings... :p ...Quote:

If they put the put to sleep for that, it's just insane.
I'm sure the kids are upset that their child is dead, but they're just kids having kids. They have no clue sometimes how quickly an incident can escalate. The mom probably thought she could relax and get a nap and just let the baby go in the swing or something like that.
It's just a tragic situation for all concerned.
The one accounting said there were 3 adults in the house with the baby.
what were all three doing while this baby was being chewed up?:mad:
They would have to be dead not to have heard that infant cry.:(
They all should be arrested for neglecting their child.:mad:
I think the infant had to have been dead before the puppy bit/chewed on the baby. There's no way I'll believe the puppy "attacked" a live infant in a swing and proceeded to maul and kill the infant with adults in the home. This story sounds so wrong and far fetched. A pup that young would still have milk teeth and a weak bite if it is truly 6 weeks old as they say.
This is such BS, wtf?
-the baby was unattended OUTSIDE
-the parents and grandmother were HOME
-the baby was left with TWO dogs outside
This is completely questionable, the puppy shouldn't even be WEANED yet, he's not even 8 weeks old. I don't believe a word of it. :rolleyes:
I agree with Jessica. I think something happened to the baby either intentional or accidental and then the puppy got ahold of it somehow. No puppy is going to get knocked in the head with a kid in a swing and not run at that age, could only reach the baby's feet, and 6 weeks, heck even 8 week old pups arent strong enough to "attack" anything. The baby would have had to be screaming unless it was already dead, and if it was, why didn't anyone hear it? THere is more to this story and I don't beleive it had much to do with the puppy at all. Poor little souls.
Let's hope they find out the truth before they put the dogs to sleep.
I can't even believe what I just saw in that video! I agree, these 'parents' should be arrested for neglecting this poor child, and should have NEVER been left alone, with or without a dog!:mad::mad::(
