Pit Bull, Baby Incident Makes National News

sbl_admin · 12-13-2006, 12:40 PM

Tonight’s Nancy Grace show on CNN Headline News will focus on the recent incident in Bossier City of a pit bull puppy gnawing an infant’s foot.

“She had a severe injury to one foot, with most of the toes missing,” Bossier City spokesman Mark Natale told The Times Monday.

I do not post in the afternoons very often but I just talk to someone in my office that has close ties to the police office and there is some major questions about how the toes of this child where chewed off ?? The question best I could tell was it a dog that did this to the child ? I had to wonder how
a puppy even a pit bull would have enough teeth at six weeks old to do that
kind of damage. Puppies have small teeth. I am sure in the next day or two we will hear the rest of the story but something smells fishy here.

I was reading the follow up "read more" links on this thread. This makes better sense to me than a puppy chewing off toes.

Its pretty clear that if either the ferret or the puppy did this it can mean only one thing...those people were starving their pets.

Something just isn't right about this story. The parents claim to have been sleeping in the same room as the baby. Unless this is one of those kids that doesn't feel pain. (which there is such a condition) I don't see how those parents didn't wake up the first time this baby started screaming. ??

I hear the pound is getting phone calls from all over the country asking how that puppy is doing.

Sounds like to me the ferret did it. It is sort of rat like and they have been known to chew on people while they are sleeping. I do not think this couple should be held in jail for this incident. They made a terrible mistake not putting the baby to sleep in a crib.

D.A. to offer plea deal.

Seems they want the parents to agree to a plea deal of like Child endangerment, and to take some Parenting classes. And both the Ferret and the Dog are to be adopted out. Meanwhile the baby is with one of the grandparents.

now you know... the rest of the story. I guess.

Child endangerment ? Please ! If that is the case then all my children have been around dogs and other pets all there life. I do not think that the parentsplaced the child's foot in the mouth of the dog or ferret. They have enough pain with out having to give hair samples for drug test and be all over the news like they have. Plea deal ? That sounds like a DA just trying to win a case with scare tactics.
