SUFFOLK, Va. -- The parents of a 2-year-old boy have been charged with murder, after their two dogs fatally mauled their son.
Police in Virginia said the boy was attacked in October after being left alone downstairs in the home with a male pit bull mix and a female mix with puppies. Police said the parents were upstairs.
James Jonathan Martin, 29, and Heather Frango, 25, have been indicted on charges of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and neglect.
They're being held without bond, and an arraignment is set for next month.
Police said the dogs will be euthanized after the criminal case ends.
