Re: Poor little boy

Awful thing to happen & I'd not leave a child alone in a caravan with a dog not one of the family or a family dog, any breed, no matter what breed. In fact I'd not leave a child alone in that sort of situation whether a dog was there or not.

Re: Poor little boy

Any news on why the parent thought it a good thing to leave her son alone ? He must have been terrified when the dog attacked him Doesn't bear thinking about .

Re: Poor little boy

At the moment we know nothing, except the tragic outcome.

I shall withold my opinion until we know the full story, although how will the police ever know what happened if the only witness has died?

Where were all the adults? Had the boy been alone all night - maybe he had because the devasting scene was discovered at 5 a.m. according to what I read.

What made the dog attack in such a manner? Had the little lad hurt him? Perhaps the adults even thought the boy would be safe to leave if he had a dog with him?

One report I heard said the mother was 15 miles away (why?), and the mother's friends who were supposed to be looking after the boy, were in another caravan.

We can't pretend to know what happened, other than allegedly some sort of neglect occured, and it went horribly wrong. Then the poor kid paid with his life.

We will hear more in time, no doubt.

Re: Poor little boy

It says in the article that the dog was known to have been vicious before and was often seen wearing a muzzle. Where do these people keep the brains?
