Just becuase I blame the adult humans in the situation does not mean I am saying the mother was unfit or a horrible person. Yes, she made a mistake. But for every decision we make, there is an outcome....cause and effect.

Becuase she left the child alone, the oppertunity was there for this to happen.

Because the dog owner did not properly train or restain her dogs, this happened.

Maybe it still would have happened if the mother had been outside. It doesn't sound like the pack of ten came tearing into her yard and grabbed the child though. At most, maybe one came, and most parents could protect their child from one dog ( obviously it may depend on that dog, but in general)


I think throwing in the thread about years ago is comparing apples to oranges...sure we ran the neighborhood with our friends, and our didn't know exactly where we were...but NOT at 2!!

I'm sorry if I sound harsh or judgmental, but I feel that no one wants to take responsibilty for their own actions anymore. "It's not my fault I killed my parents, they abused me." "It's not my fault I killed those people with my car, I was on drugs and didn't know what I was doing."

I know I am repeating myself, but for every choice we make, their is an outcome. The mother made a choice to leave the child alone and there was a horrible outcome. If hadn't been the dogs, it could have been something else...a kidnapper,a drunk driver, anything. But by leaving that child alone she provdied an an oppertunity for for that to happen.
