puppies and babies :)

I know about puppies.
They should keep a fucking eye on their kid.
even more so with a small animal in the house.

THEY WERE ALL SLEEPING! :hay:

@BikerFry

They didn’t get the kid taken because of what’s in the story. They got the kid taken away because of what wasn’t reported.

I guarantee they were drunk, high, or both to sleep through a screaming kid with a puppy chewing on the kid’s toes.

Plus the rest of the story paints a picture of your average deadbeats:

-They were sleeping on a “mattress” not a bed
-The kid was in an “infant seat” (carseat?) not a crib
-They own a 6 week old pit bull (way too young to be out of the litter, obviously came from somewhere illegitimate)
-The pitbull had no shots

Here’s how it went down:

Parents: “The dog chewed on our kid’s toes.”
Social Worker: “Where were you.”
Parents: “Asleep next to our kid”
Social Worker: “You didn’t wake up? Wasn’t your kid crying?”
Parents: “He was crying when we woke up. His foot had already been chewed.”
Social Worker: “He must have started crying right away. Why didn’t you wake up?”
Parents: “Umm, we were in a deep sleep.”
Social worker exercises judgement and realizes that this story doesn’t add up and calls child protection services.

Deadbeat? We don’t know. But they could have been poor too? Hell they could have been well off, and just had a matress on the floor in a den or something, and took a nap. Do you have kids? Do you know how exhausting taking care of an infant is? If you are constantly exhausted, how hard is it to sleep through something? Think about that.

The dog having shots/being older would not prevent it from knawing on some toes by any means :shrug: That’s what dogs do.
