This makes Me So Angry (Update post 53) by Finn's Mom

[4 Dog Mother]

Like most of you I have trouble understanding how anyone could leave a baby unattended and unchecked for a period of 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Especially with pets in the house. If the males left the house, why didn't they put the baby in one of the women's rooms. Most baby swings are portable swings and easily moved- THEY ARE PORTABLE! From that recent report, I have to wonder if the grandfather did not put the child away from the women because they did not want to be disturbed by her cries.

I too have a lot of trouble imagining a puppy that young could actually do that much damage by himself to a baby. And from what was said, he must somehow have managed to tip the swing or get into the swing because otherwise he would not have been able to do all that they say he did. I also have to wonder why they had to put him down right away. He was a puppy -he didn't seem to be fighting the man who took him out of the house so he wasn't wildly aggressive.

Obviously there is more behind this story than we know. There was nothing said about an autopsy of the baby - I too wonder if the baby wasn't dead before the dog got to it. And how TWO women could sleep through a baby screaming as that baby had to have is just unbelievable.

To be honesty, I would never let a 6 week old puppy have run of the house. It is doubtful that he was fully house trained plus few puppys can be trusted not to chew on things or get into some kind of trouble.

I hope the true story comes out but I highly doubt that it will. The puppy will take the fall.

Well, at least the mom has been arrested & charged with neglect. That's
a start.

yes the mom was arrested and charged with neglect but the grandma lived there too and was sleeping as well. Are they doing drug tests on HER?
if not they should be and she should be sitting in jail right beside her daughter!

I wonder if they know for SURE that the baby wasn't dead already???

Some reports say the puppy hadn't eaten in days.

I didn't see where she was arrested, can someone post a link? And from other articles and from the video, the dog looked to be older than six weeks. I usually don't stay this interested in a story, but this one really has stuck with me. So, I keep looking to see updates.

I didn't read the word"arrest" anywhere, but if she has been "charged"
with neglect, she would have been required to be in court to answer the
charges. I don't know the law in OK, but I doubt they just issue a ticket
for a charge like that. That was my thinking anyway.

Gotcha. I've only seen "accused" in the articles...unless I'm forgetting that I saw "charged." Either way...at least this is continuing and not just being dropped. It deserves to be figured out.
