Dog Mutilates 4-Month-Old Boy's---

omgosh- this is horrible


http://www.wjactv.com/mostpopular/14519881/detail.html


WAUKEGAN, Ill. -- Police are still looking into what exactly happened in a Waukegan apartment early Sunday morning when a dachshund chewed off the genitals of a 4-month-old boy.

Fire and police personnel arrived at 1:30 a.m. to the home on the city’s far southwest side and encountered the infant — who was bleeding profusely — and took him from the scene in a helicopter to a hospital.

The father of the boy told police he was visiting his girlfriend with his son when the infant fell asleep on a couch. The girlfriend had placed blankets around the child and the two went into another room to sleep.

Police said the girlfriend’s dachshund may have smelled urine in the child’s diaper and began to chew away at the diaper.

The dog continued to destroy the diaper until he mutilated and ingested the child’s genitals. The girlfriend awoke to the child screaming and immediately called 911. The boy was taken to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge where he was listed in stable condition.

An effort was made to recover the boy’s genitalia by performing surgery, but police said the dog vomited and a veterinarian determined the tissue was substantially destroyed and reattachment would not be possible.

The animal is now held in Waukegan Animal Control custody.

Cmdr. Wayne Walles said the Waukegan Police Criminal Investigations Division and the Lake County States Attorney’s Office are still investigating the incident.

A notification to the Department of Child and Family Services has been made.

...and no one heard a thing until the dog had chewed it off?

you know darn well that baby cried right from the beginning ... I always heard my kids- and if they happened to fall asleep somewhere other than their crib and I was afraid of moving them so as not to wake them up... Well I'd camp out right next to them...

What the **** is wrong with people? You don't leave a four month old alone on a couch. You don't "go to sleep" (as if they were sleeping) with the child on the couch and you don't leave an infant with a dog unattended. I hope this father can't live with himself. I hope the child has some semblance of a normal life. When you are entrusted to care for children you have to be on your toes at all times. (rant over)

OK this sounds like a child abuse excuse. Unfortunatly I bet parents did it and are blaming the dog. I would be real suspicious!

Since the dog puked it up, I doubt the parents did it.

OMG that is horriable, I can't believe they didn't hear the poor baby crying, and to even think about going into another room while the poor baby slept on the couch.

I would never ever ever leave Zack unattended like that. I'm afraid to say anymore and it won't be UA friendly either.

Nothing to lock up here except for a couple of idiots in Illinois for endangering the welfare of a child, neglect and just plain unabashed and selfish stupidity.

Those two people neglected that little boy, and now he is going to suffer the rest of his life. They need to be punished for that!!!

I wonder where the boys mother was when this happened? Im assuming since they refer to the woman as the fathers girlfriend, that she isnt the mother.

Unbelievable! Why would you leave your baby unattended with a dog? Horrible parenting and the poor kid is the one paying the price.

I find it really hard to believe that the baby didn't start crying until the dog had had its meal... I sincerely hope that they didn't purposely not tend to the child so they could finish what they were "doing" in the other room and not be bothered with a screaming child, who now has to pay a horrible price because of those two #&*^$%*@^@#(@#*@^ (you get the picture).

That makes me soooo mad.

Five'll get you ten they'd drunk too much, were passed out, and the last trump wouldn't have wakened them. Some people think this is ok with a kid in the house. A parent can't afford to do that. And this kid will need some serious counseling to cope with the hand he's been dealt in life...which is going to involve multiple cosmetic surgeries and a life hampered not only by this, but probably with state vs parental custodial legal battles...and of course the parenting skills of the parents he's got. What an introduction to life.

Well leaving a 4 month on the couch is neglect in it's self.

But Dachshunds are bred rodent killers. They are amazingly fast and efficient in this. I've seen the after effects of my friend's when she forgot to tie him down when we had rodents in the car.
