[Cataholic]

one of her books that talks was going off randomly WAAAAAAAY out in the living room and even IT woke me up.

My basement is unfinished, and I have hardwood floors on the first level. One of Jonah's toys kept going off in the basement, and it scared the you know what out of me!

Richard you kill me....lol. But you're so right on this one. That's exactly the way I see it also.

Don't worry, I won't bite you to death.

Yeah that's a pretty creepy experience lol. I know when it would go off at night and I would go out to try to make it stop my heart would be pounding... I was actually scared lol.

I got excited for a second, hoping for a new update, but I think this is the same article I posted this morning. I hope they find out something new soon.

How does anyone leave a two month old baby unattended for an hour and a half, and in a swing. The lab pup was also only 2 months old, too young to maul a baby to death. And yet no one heard any cries or screams from the baby...unbelievable. Sounds so incredibly stupid, I would have heard my kids crying from two houses down yet the mom heard nothing for all that time? Zonked out somewhere to me...cause no way does anyone leave a 2 mo. old alone in a swing for that long.

And for the record... after she was born you bet your arse I napped when she napped. there isn't time newborns sleep 20 hours a day. how is there not time? lol and hannah is alone everytime she naps or sleeps at night... she is in her own room in her own crib and has been since the day she was born. And sometimes... Beezer sleeps on the floor in front of her crib.


There wasn't time for me, you might have been luckier. A colicky baby or one with allergies does not sleep 20 hours a day.
When the baby sleeps you try to get everything else done, like laundry-I didn't use disposable diapers so there were loads of diapers always in the washer, meals,cleaning, and you still have the dogs to look after. And if you have another child, then that child needs caring and looking after also. No, those were the sleepless days for me.

Thanks for posting the updates. That was more gruesome than I thought though.
Charges of neglect seem like a slap on the wrist when there's a 2 month old dead. Sounds like the whole family was dysfunctional.

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.

[shais_mom]

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!

[pitc9]

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

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

[finn's mom]

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.
