Don't leave babies alone with dogs

If you are squeamish, do not read any further, something very bad happens a baby in this news article ..

Two large dogs have chewed off the testicles of a 6-month-old boy strapped in a baby carrier and left alone in a Riverside County apartment.

Murrieta police say the 22-year-old mother Carrie McKinney had left the baby in a car seat on the floor in her boyfriend's apartment on Saturday. Sgt. Bob Landwehr says the woman and her boyfriend, Doug Ritchey, left the room when pit bull and pit bull mix attacked the baby, tearing off the infant's diaper and biting his scrotum.

The baby was taken first to a hospital, then to Loma Linda University Medical Center for surgery, Murrieta police Sgt. James Ganley said. The boy lost his testicles.

McKinney has temporarily lost custody of the infant and could potentially face criminal neglect charges, Ganley said.

Child Protective Services took the baby from the mother. The dogs will be euthanized.

It's not the dogs who should be put down, it's the mother :mad:

Hagar · 14-04-2010 08:02AM

The left the room when the dogs attacked? How could you run away from a child being attacked by dogs?

I can't read it cos i'm on my mobile, all it's giving me is the link unspoilered, but from the gist of things, a baby was attacked by a dog? Did the baby survive?

... anyhow, that's going to be really bad for the kid alright. but hey, we might have our first castrato for erm... 60 / 70 years?

Gotta love the "Beware of Dogs" sign, they look like perfectly placid animals. They're not pit bulls either. Lazy journalism shocker.

Darwin award tbh. She managed to spawn but her son won't.

BigDuffman · 14-04-2010 08:41AM

Jesus.....the poor kid!!!!!!!! What amazing that people would need a licence for dogs but not one for children.

Dave! · 14-04-2010 08:42AM

I thought babies' testicles don't descend until they're a few years old?

Not valid, a darwin has to die as a result of something really stupid and not have any kids before hand.

Your posting style made me think it was a joke (i hate those kinds of joke), i was expecting to be dissappointed, secretly wanting a bad story (play on people's expectation of a joke). But this is actually horrific.

This news doesn't do any good to anyone. Why post it?

Both the nature of the injury and the fact that it happened to a baby make this topic unpunnable.

Luckily in this day and age we have hormone therapy, so he'll probably be able to live a normal enough life, just never have children

First of all, you're in the Boards.ie Pub, hence ...

People talk about all sorts of crazy ass **** in a pub, particularly stories like this.

However, I defend you're right to criticize what I post, heck I even welcome it as I too have attacked and criticized people for what they have posted and so I would be a hypocrite if I complained about you doing it.

Secondly, this story does do good, maybe I just saved some After Hours frequenter's childs life.

I know I intend to go about the rest of my day feeling as if I have

Ah the ostrich, stick your head in the sand and it never happened.. It might be unpleasant news, but its news nevertheless.

Horrifc story. Its an awful pity a law can't be brought in to remove the reproductive organs of the terminally stupid.

Not at all - Potentially saving the life (force) of one of our precious children is simply the dogs b0ll0cks.

PeterIanStaker · 14-04-2010 12:45PM

Stupid dumb trailer trash b*itch.

Anyone can fire out kids but ya need a licence for a dog.

Childless couples who want to adopt or foster have to jump through tons of paperwork yet these people can have 'em and then think its ok to leave the infant alone with a pit bull - vile stupid creatures who should be bred out (and so should pit bulls)

Or as a slightly lower career horizon: fronting a Bronski Beat tribute band.

Something doesn't quite ring right with this article tbh.

1) Why was the kid left alone, with dogs around or without?

2) The dogs "chewed off" his testicles..? Hardly. Article says "tearing off the infant's diaper and biting his scrotum." Dogs smelled something they liked-- diaper. Dogs probably ripped apart the diaper, kid smelled the same. Had a bit of a gnaw because it smelled good to them. But I'm not getting the impression his testicles were "chewed off" or that it was even particularly gory or out of any sort of viciousness. Probably got a hell of a nip in a sensitive area, and a tooth probably punctured the kid's scrotum leading to the kid losing them.

Complete shock article imo and does nothing for the reputation of pit bulls. Pit bulls are lovely dogs and fantastic family animals, it's just that completely retarded people keep buying them, ruining them, and making it worse for anyone else.

At least they took the child off the mother, even if temporarily.

Mandatory licenses to procreate ftw

Seriously WTF :mad:

Don't leave babies alone with dogs
