Actually it's probably a case where all of the people in that house carry a little bit of responsibility for what happened to that baby. First accounts stated that the mother and grandmother were asleep when the father and grandfather left for work. Now they're saying that the mother was awake when the grandfather went to work and went back to bed to go to sleep.

As far as the grandmother should have taken responsibility because she was of "legal" adult age, i'm not sure if it's the same in all states, but in my state once a girl has a baby she becomes an emancipated minor which means that she is legally an adult. Using the "legal" adult age arguement, the responsibility would then lay mainly with the grandfather as he was the one that placed the baby in the swing and then left the house.

Ultimately the responsibility has to fall with the mother, no matter what her age. She chose to have the baby, not her mother or her father. The minute that she and the baby's father chose to have and keep that child, they willingly took on the responsibility of caring for another human life.

Thanks for the update. It looks like she's gonna be in some serious trouble if she's been taking any kind of drugs recently. Looks like the cops aren't playing with this case, they even went so far as to take decibal tests. The details in the updated story were a lot more gruesome than i imagined happening, i thought the dog just bit the baby repeatedly. What that poor baby must've went through

Yeah, those details I think I could've lived without. I am 50 years old and I never would have thought a puppy could/would do this to a baby. Not saying I would leave babies unattended because I was actually an obsessive mother when mine were babies, but this is so hard to comprehend what that puppy did.

It is also very hard for me to believe that a puppy could do that, almost impossible for me to believe as a matter of fact. Which is why i believe that there was more than just one of the animals involved, i could be wrong, but it just doesn't make sense to me. I've had dogs all my life and been around all kinds of animals. Even if the it's true, the behavior of the rest of the animals doesn't fit.

A lot of people don't think so, but cats can be very protective. I've seen my cat go after my dogs when she misinterpreted play between me and the dogs as an act of agression toward me. Also i can't picture the pug ( i believe full grown) just sitting there and doing nothing while the puppy did that to the baby. It just doesn't sound right to me, like it's a puzzle missing a piece.

I do know what dogs are attracted to though, and if the baby had food, or vomit on him, or a soiled diaper then yes the puppy would have more than likely tried to eat those things and in turn then saw the baby as a source of food.

Sad, sad situation. Please continue to keep us updated.

The child was only 2 months old. The puppy had not been fed that day and was not cleaned up after either. What kind of home is this for a child? Was the child treated like the dog as well?

Mother of baby killed by puppy gets probation

A Tulsa teenager whose 2-month-old baby was killed by a puppy has received probation conditions — including educational and therapeutic requirements — in Tulsa County Juvenile Court....

...In 2006, when she was 15, Earles was accused in juvenile court of unlawful delivery of a controlled drug.
She was found delinquent in 2007 and put on a probation that was closed as successful in 2008, records show.

Labs are not hyperactive dogs, they are working dogs. They are highly intelligent and very good with children. As with any working dog if they do not have something to keep them occupied you will have problems with them.

As for your lab constantly jumping on and "playfully" biting people that isn't a problem that comes from the breed, it's a problem that comes from poor training. Dogs should be taught that they should never bite humans, even in play (unless of course they are guard dogs), and they need to be given their training commands for their entire life. If she is hyperactive she probably isn't getting enough exercise.

Another case of child neglect or worse - and a darling puppy gets killed for it.

That baby and that puppy are surely in a better place than those horrible people provided.

They will get their judgement.
