@ It has nothing to do with the law. It has to do with basic human decency. Most people would have been so shocked and horrified they would have immediately surrendered their dogs. She is not most people.
In australia if a dog attacks and kills anyone the dog is immediatly seized and put down and the owners are charged with manslaughter.Seems like commonsence to me.
Here in America there are far too many mentally ill animal worshippers. Now, when you get into the deep country towns of America, they don't play with roaming dogs; especially when they own livestock.
@@sanniepstein4835that's the way we were raised, and I had to put down a rescue dog myself at one point where there was no other option and the dog became a risk of biting someone. Just common sense, and decent action of responsibility.
Wait wait wait. The OWNER gets to decide if the dogs are put down or not? The same one who allowed this to happen in the first place? The sheer audacity
These dogs brutally killed a little boy , you should not need permission from the owner to put these dogs down , hold the owner accountable to the fullest extent of the law . Charge of murder !!!
If the owner is as they say a drug user, then in is the problem. So many cases like this the owners involved in drugs, the dogs become vicious and violent. Have to wonder if these dogs are exposed to the drugs if it affects the dogs causing their violent behavior. Definitely something to look into, then stop these people from owning animals.
@@anitajoss9649 Irresponsible owners plain and simple. Need to be held accountable! Why is it always thug types that have most the aggressive breeds where this happens?
@@gordocarbo exactly what I'm trying to say. Thugs and drugs go hand in hand. Is it the mistreatment or the exposure to drugs that cause the dog to become violent. We already know they are NOT responsible dog owners.
Holy shit! The owner of the dog had MULTIPLE FELONIES for drugs and violence.... And then having aggressive dogs off leash???? And this boy gets KILLED... And they want to give the owner a choice, and time to decide that the dogs can't be euthanized. Unbelievable... That poor child, the other kids who witnessed this, and the family of this boy..... I am sickened that they have to deal with this PREVENTABLE tragedy
More than likely she got the dogs because of her drug involvement.....and her stupidity. She knew what her dogs were capable of and chose the dogs because of it. She didn't care to train them, probably neither one has ever seen a vet, obviously drugs were more important to her than her dogs so in the end the dogs will pay the price for the owners stupidity.Unless you are highly trained and can devote your life to CONSTANTLY training and giving the dog the proper exorcise and attention it needs you should NOT have a Pitbull or a Catahoula. These dogs are muscular with tremendous amounts of energy and both have reputations of being aggressive even with the proper training. When these dogs attack the devastation is often fatal or severely disabling. If the child had survived his life would have been forever changed , filled with non stop pain, deep scars, severe PTSD, and probably confined to a wheel chair.I hope this child's family can get justice for their son's attack.
I Loooove dogs. I like them better than people most of the time. However this is so wrong. The person that owns these dogs let this little boy, the community and the dogs down. You can’t let dogs run loose. I don’t know what breed these dogs are but any dog is able to bite. Do better people! RIP Michael. ❤
WHY IS THIS STILL HAPPENING??!!! My mother was killed 20 YEARS AGO by a vicious dog!!! The dog broke my mother’s neck in 2 places!! And this dog was reported Several Times but Nothing was done until her Death!! I DON’T understand at all!!! This poor kid and his family…I Know what they’re about to go through!!
Yep. They are responsible because they thought owning Bloodsport, fighting dogs was okay. One was a pit and one was a "mix". I'll just about guarantee that mix was a pit mix.
Not only the owner is responsible! So are the police and animal control. They talk about how important the community safety is but an eight year old is dead! You failed!
@@debbiemachelle2703 How can the police/animal control be there every time a dog gets out of a yard or is allowed to roam freely? I don’t understand how Law Enforcement is responsible in this case. It’s the OWNER’S responsibility to socialize AND confine their pet. The Sheriff even said that no one had ever called or complained about these animals before.
@shelby477 I 100% agree with you the owner is responsible. But I would guarantee that other dog didn't have pit in it, pits are not fighting dogs until they are trained to be, neglected or abused. The owner clearly was irresponsible with them, and the result was a poor boy lost life life. This is a result of any dog clearly being mistreated/ not cared for. I just wish people would start seeing that instead of trying to "almost guarantee they other was also mixed with pit"
@shelby477 As a person with personal experience owning the breed over many years, some rescues and some from pup ( 3 now in my home ) can say these dogs don't come out wanting to fight, they come out as a loving puppy that wants to please there owners. They are amazing family dogs like any other breed. Also, keep in mind that any dog breed is still an animal so as a responsible owner it thier job to take the proper steps with owning a dog. But like all dogs with proper training, socializing them with people/animals, proper medical check ups, exercise, nutrition.I can say firsthand how wonder they can be with responsible owners. It's so sad how people get the breed to look cool or make them mean. I, wish those people would stop getting dogs all together. Because clearly in this video they mistreated 2 different dog breeds with the same poor outcome from some or many forms of neglect, and this sweet young boy lost his life.
I will tell you why people don't report loose dogs. My neighbors dog came in the yard of my home daycare approached the children and growled at them. I called animal control and the next year of our life was hell. My husband is a cop. She repeatedly called his supervisor he almost lost his job. They harassed us, threatened and intimidated us. They threw fireworks at our house. It got so bad we moved and i closed my daycare just so my husband wouldn't loose his job and we could have peace and be safe. People who let their dogs roam feel entitled and they get angry and aggressive when they get called on it.
I'm really sorry you went through that. There are indeed so many entitled people around here who feel like they don't have to use a leash or control their dogs. Having said that, I don't think you should have moved. Leaving like that only would serve to positively reinforce such toxic behavior. I think every state has laws against stalking and harassment at this point, and you very well may have been able to gather evidence on video (equipment might have been cheaper than moving) and either seek criminal charges or get a restraining order. If your husband's supervisor was aware of the situation, he or she should have supported your husband; if your husband nearly lost his job because of someone else's wrongful behavior, that's more of a problem with the job (or its management) than anyone else involved.
I have volunteered for years in animal rescue and this is unfortunately very true. The dog owners blame us for their dogs being taken to the shelter as a stray and they have to come get them.
As someone who was chased by a pack of dogs when I was around 8 years old, and thought I was going to die, but I rode my bicycle hard managing to get to a small building. I got inside, and those dogs were pacing around near the building. My dad was manager of the airport where I was riding my bike. I was traumatized for a long time because of that.. I can only imagine how horrific that was for that child.. God bless the sheriff, and animal control officer, for trying to get Justice for that child. There will never be Justice for his mother, and I'm sure she'll suffer with that for the rest of her life.
Mistreatment often leads to aggression. Also, sometimes people express their own self image through their choice of dog, meaning people who see themselves as tough, strong, etc., will choose a breed that they think is similar to their self-image. People who glorify strength get a strong dog, then mistreat them, that's how this happens.
How do you know a dog is vicious until it's vicious like I don't understand what the fuck you're saying. The most vicious dog on the planet is the Chihuahua
My daughter was attacked by a vicious dog yesterday, she received Rabies vaccinations and is to return for a series. These loose dogs are a huge problem all over the state, animal services are full from negligent owners. Do better people. I’m sorry, but if my dog killed someone, I’d never wanna see that dog again because they are a murderer. Hold owner full accountable, this was 100% preventable!
A dog cannot be a “murderer”. That is a human thing. Dogs are animals and do what it is in their nature to do as dogs. A dog kills someone, it is an indirect murder committed by their owner. Their owner is the murderer by proxy.
Trey; I agree to a point but that's not always the case... You can be a good dog owner and something bad could still happen.. Dogs are animals and can turn on you for no reason so to say every situation is alike is ridiculous.. Anything can happen when having an animal for a pet especially a big dog
And so must the boy’s mother be. As a mom, I’d die myself if I saw my child killed by anyone or anything. The mom tried to save her son and was not able to. My heart breaks for her and the family. This was totally preventable and the owner needs to be held accountable. As in jail time. Nothing will bring back the life of the child.
She watched what were their 1020 dogs who would watch that and not do anything about it. There is no hose no weapons couldn’t kick beat throw dirt on the situation something I don’t believe that for a second.
@@mikegoodin3306 Have you ever seen dogs become violent? It happens fast and there's a period of surprise before anyone can act. Apparently you didn't even listen to what the sheriff said he heard on the 911 call. These were mothers and children in a situation where two dogs went berserk without warning. The mother of the boy threw her body on top of him to stop the dogs from attacking him more, but by then he was no longer breathing. One of the dogs likely tore his throat out, and that can happen in an instant once a dog knocks a human on the ground, so imagine how little time anyone had to react to what was happening. For you to come in here and say "try harder" about a situation like this is disgustingly stupid.
no need to watch, need to own firearm and use it to protect yourself and your family, any woman can do this, just need to train a little, remember police will NOT save you always, they need some time to arrive, and they are also known to make things worse
They never recover, they just try to move forward the best they can. I agree with you, no greater pain can there be to lose a child more so in this way.
Parents teach your children not to go up to dogs and assume they are friendly and have been vaccinated! This boy died a horrific death! Not all dogs have a sweet nature or shots!
Teach your children never ever to touch strange dogs ! Unless it's an obvious puppy you have to be aware of possible aggressiveness or sick dogs with rabies ! Please teach your children !!
With the owner of the dog having that kind of a record & she’s not in prison means she’s an informant for the DEA. She needs to be off the streets too!
Apparently this woman doesn't seem to care after all her other charges. This woman needs to be charged with murder. Those dogs and others like them are weapons and owners need to be charged as such and held accountable. There needs to be harsher laws.
Banned! And made illegal to own or breed! Everywhere! OMG this is so sad. It’s time now. How many more have to die this horrible death. I’m so sorry mom. R.I.P. Michael❤
@jacquelinekoch7446 the dog is not the problem the human is. Ban humans!! Any animal has the potential to bite and cause harm. Just as any human can. Your ignorance is showing in your comment. Time to do some learning.
These pitbulls are a problem. So many stories where even "formerly friendly" ones snap & bite someone. Their jaws are so strong & they can cause so much injury, and occasionally even death.
@@jacquelinekoch7446 They'll never ban them because the animal rights activist know that if you open the can of worms to ban one breed then you open up the can to ban any type of animal and the animal industry is a multi-billion dollar industry.
What the heck is wrong with the law. Two dogs kill a child and they don't go immediately and seize the dogs. A CHILD IS DEAD quit protecting the guilty 😢
@@justalurker5412I could be wrong but if she doesn't give permission then they like petition a judge or something there's no way those dogs are going to live, it's just easier and quicker if she agrees
I love my dogs, and just for their protection I would never let them wander loose.. anything can happen.. the owner of the two dogs should absolutely be held accountable for that little boys life
As a fellow dog owner I strongly agree with you. Too many are getting careless with their dogs and I too am tired of seeing people blindly take up for Pit Bulls. We're seeing larger numbers of deaths and maulings done by that breed and their mixes. Than we experienced in the 1970s and 80s

The owner is responsible….bottom line. She has been non compliant with the ordinances with her dogs so she should be charged with murder… if it were not for her neglectful actions that boy would be alive…
Charged, yes... For murder, no ! She didn't attack that young man, her dogs did . What those dogs did to that little boy is horrible . I'm so sorry that happened to him . R.I.P. young man . ❤️
Correction. This is not rare. People are getting larger and more dangerous dogs every year. They are being bred to be larger and more dangerous, and then sold to idiots. To say that this boy's horrible death was a tragedy is insulting. This kind of thing is inevitable unless these animals are eliminated. Yeah of course all the neighbors have stories. How many times were the police called and did nothing? Now a little boy is dead, and I can't even imagine what his family is feeling.
You are correct. Most dog owners tend to anthropomorphosize their dogs. (Thinking they are like humans) This leads to faulty handling and denial that all dogs can bite. Some breeds are dangerous and have been bred for violence. This horrific extent of this boys' fatal injuries lend testimony to the fact that dogs are not humans and they don't think like humans. Many people with dogs are egregiously ignorant. Owning any animal is a tremendous responsibility.
I live inTN and called animal control for months about the pit bulls across the street who let their dog run around loose and charge me repeatedly. They were finally cited after 8-9 months of constant complaints to animal control and the local police along with video recordings of the dog charging me in my yard. They currently have their 3rd pit bull, after having been forced to get rid of the prior two. People like that should absolutely be held accountable for the actions of their "pets".
My dear God, how horrific. That poor child, and his mom, jeeze how do you deal with that? She is one hell of a mom for how she fought for her baby, then to lose the battle only to be left with the trauma of it all. She will never be the same.
Not premeditated?? The garbage owner was warned many times. She was well aware of the dangers. Of course more rights for criminals than innocent. Poor Michael and his mom.
Maybe actually do something when you call animal services about dangerous dogs. There was a pit bull/mastiff cross pulling people off motorcycles in Marion County. Multiple people called about that dog but Marion County informed them that there was nothing they could do unless an animal control officer witnessed aggressive or you were willing to sign an affidavit and go to court as a witness. The people who owned the dog were drug dealers. No one was going to court to testify against them. Eventually, someone shot the dog because Marion County was fine with waiting until someone died.
I don’t own a firearm, but I keep a 4 foot long piece of rebar in my truck and at my house. If a dog attacked me or my dog that would be the last time. I think people need to be more proactive protecting themselves, their family and pets.
@@CastleMcUnless you know or work with an AC officer don’t say negative things like that. They are held to very strict laws on what they can and can’t do. Just like them not being able to euthanize these dogs without the owners consent. They should be able to do so but city laws prohibit them.
Marion county is a very bad county Video of their county commissioner meetings on streaming video show them adopting pit bull animals out without full disclosure of what the animal is. Marion County is too worried about putting innocent people in jail to put people in jail it might even been one adopted by Marion county Fl. How about the officer that left his keys in the vehicle going to a suspicious person trying to steal a vehicle. This was not a cat in the tree call! The lady that stole the police car didn’t use any of the guns in there, but of course it was not for the sheriffs fault statements “not their officers fault”.
Heartbreaking. Just a little boy out being a little boy. Riding bikes with his friend. The owner should be held responsible. After knowing the dogs where aggressive and the owner still allowed them out in the neighborhood. She should be charged with manslaughter. At the very least. She wasn't even home and the dogs where out. Very negligent.
Yes, just ignore that part where the kid approached the unknown dogs. Had he just been riding his bike, he'd be alive. He chose an action that ended in his death.
@@robingalbraith323Had these vicious dogs been put up like the law says this child would be alive. It is not his fault at all! He was a little boy. Children pet dogs. The owner knew these dogs were vicious and still let them run the neighborhood. SHE needs to go to jail! She is fully responsible.
@@robingalbraith323shame on you to blame it on the child. He just wanted to pet a dog, not knowing or understanding the dogs were mean. This is the owners responsibility to keep the dogs inside when they’re not home if they’re known to escape from the yard, sounds like they roamed the neighborhood. I guess you don’t have children to understand this terrible loss.
We dont allow these dogs in NZ: “The following five breeds cannot be imported into New Zealand: American Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Brazilian Fila, Japanese Tosa and Perro de Presa Canario. Other breeds or types of dogs can be added to the list of restricted dogs, but only after an Order in Council is agreed by Parliament.”
German Sheppards have gotten super out of control here in Canada, too. They seem to have become very popular but I've heard many stories of bites/attacks on other dogs/people (personally from others and online).
Uhh..!? WHAT? You gotta have the owner sign the dogs over..!? I'm sorry but the owner has already given up their rights the second the dogs killed the child.💙☮️🙏
She has no say over having them confiscated, only over having them immediately euthanized. Once the evidence has been gathered and she is charged with a felony, she will not have a say any more. My immediate question about her is with all those charges, how was she still free!? She should be charged with negligence and cruelty to animals on top of murder, as well, for turning her dogs into killers!
It's laws that are in place for that town state or county. The owners could turn around and sew the police and animal control for not taking steps that the law requires. Sadly part of their job doesn't allow government enforcement to do what you would think is the right thing. They have to do what the law requires no matter what has happened. And every state county etc have different rules. It's very sad.
That has seemed to be the norm in every other dog mauling case besides this one. People say they called dozens of times and animals were killed first and nothing happens.
I've called five times about an aggressive pit loose in my neighborhood, and they tell me they'll come some time and if they see them, they'll take them, but they might not come for a few hours. They never come.
@@michelleo3951I called in palm coast about a loose pitbul I kept seeing. Flagler sherif cruisers here in 2 minutes. Never saw the dog again. Rick Staley doesn’t fk around.
So in America the authorities need permission from the dog owners to put them down? Pathetic. In my country if a dog attacks it is put down. Owners don’t get a chance to say no
They do no knock warrants and accidentally shoot kids. But they can't seize a dog that ended a child. The dog is a deadly weapon at this point. And it's her weapon.
Don’t matter if the dogs were "defending their property" or not. They killed somebody. They gotta go. I love my dogs but if they killed a kid, they’d be gone in a blink of an eye.
The dogs weren’t near their property to defend it. They were a distance from home and in the boy’s neighborhood. They defended nothing. They simply snapped and attacked.
i would never even want to take the chance. I would never own an animal that has an instinct to attack children if it ever got away. And i could never love something like that in the first place.
@@warondogs8199 you should never own dogs at all then because any dog can snap at any time. Some breeds are more notorious than others and that's not what I'm arguing, but every single dog has the potential to snap and cause harm.

@sevenmessengers4805 Not only is this story horrific. IT IS TOO LATE. Either the laws are too loose or there is wilfull neglect by not enforcing the laws in place.
Pit bulls are an aggressive breed; they are banned in many areas. They should be banned everywhere, imo. It should absolutely be against the law to own TWO dogs that are of an aggressive or dominant breed. So, so sorry for the loss of this sweet little guy 💔
@ In Germany, people that have Pitt Bulls have to pay higher taxes. They have to get a kind of license, and their dogs have to pass a test which will show whether they‘re dangerous or not. If a Pitt Bull is allowed to run loose, it will be caught and put into an Animal shelter. One never sees dogs running wild!

Owner must be put in prison for life. Why was she even out after all that she’s done? I can’t understand how people can commit so many crimes and just be out and about.
Yes in America and Canada they do. And as she said in the beginning it’s very rare incident which is BS just indicates the obsession of owning a dog, how many times this happens all the time but it doesn’t deter people from owning dangerous animals. Apparently dog’s life is more valuable then a baby
The 90 yr. old grandmother of a a member of my church was mauled by a pitbull who wandered into her yard while she was gardening. She died from her injuries.
Your ridiculous saying the lady should have never been out of prison! We have laws for a reason and if she served her time she has the right to be out of prison. Lock the neighbors up who never called about the dog running loose in the neighborhood!
My son was attacked at our local lake almost 3 years ago we just settled case the owner took her sweet time to comply my son didn’t surcome to his injury praise God I am so sorry to the mother of the boy
The owner needs to get life in prison for the murder of this poor young soul. Dogs need to be socialized and trained, not left to be neglected and allowed to run loose by some low life who couldn’t care less about the other residents in her community. I hope they are able to lock her up for life, if not she will just get new dogs and this will happen again. She doesn’t deserve to walk free or own another dog or any animals ever again. Deepest condolences to his poor mother, family and his young friend who was riding his bike with him. This is beyond heartbreaking 💔
Government & authorites need to change the ridulous laws and make it mandatory that owners be charged to the full extent. People do not report as nothing is done over and over. Pitt Bulls need to be banned or monitored with strict rules if you own one! So many times innocent people are killed, YES killed how does the law need to ask this disgusting owner to hand over the dogs. Just ridiculous get some balls government - So Sad for this little boy & family....
Because too many types that own these dogs are thugs and dont follow rules or laws...ever. Those dogs, the house was reported MANY times and this is the result Obviously noone caress

@@jamesotto3681 WOW! If you handed in this paragraph (English homework) to your teacher, you'd flunk for spelling AND content. It makes no sense at all.
“This is very rare” What?! No- actually it’s becoming a weekly/monthly issue hearing about fatal dog attacks all over the country. Dog bites, attacks have never ever been considered “rare”.
It's not rare at all. Maybe rare in that community but not rare nationwide. Either children get attacked, or they jump on elderly people out for a walk. You can't even leave your house anymore . I stopped going to my park because people were dumping fight dogs in the woods at my beautiful nature park. Let's all take a guess what breed the dogs are.
I can’t even watch this. Just want people to know how dangerous their sweet pets can be for others. Innocent children, the elderly. Does NOT matter how good they are with you. Heartbreaking. Beyond. Words.
Stop blaming the dogs! You’re not even willing to understand the basics. Dogs do not attack if not provoked, neglected or abused. Somebody has CLEARLY stated that these dogs have been ABUSED/ not treated properly. Dogs are great family companions, but if a psychopath or an i*iot owns one, they can associate certain gestures and movements with their oppressor and act on impulse. Traumatized individuals behave similarly.
@@AlaskaLPSat the end of the day, they have an ANIMAL instinct, clear example of what happened to the boy, he went to pet them, and they killed him. Some dogs are just naturally aggressive even when they are NOT provoked.
Absolutely horrifying. That poor boy. People who let their dogs roam must be held 100% responsible. In Houston animal control won't even come when called about stray or loose dogs and many run in packs which we all know can be deadly to humans or other animals. I am a huge dog lover and always have had multiple dogs and they've never roamed freely outside of our fenced yard or have hurt anyone. My heart breaks for this child and his family.
Many years ago my Grandmother was mauled by a vicious dog. She needed 1,500 sutures and 5 operations to make a leg usable. The dog was famous in the neighborhood for attacking anything that was in the street in front of it's home. The next night someone did a drive by shooting and killed the dog. The police didn't care about my Grandmother but they did swarm the area investigating the dog's death. Laws do not help victims.
@@jamesotto3681The animal control lady bravely managed to confine one of the dogs while the sheriff was presumably having the vapours on the sidelines.
Very typical of pitbulls to break bones. They have a bite force of 330 PSI, and were bred to take down take down bears, bulls and other large animals before they were bred to kill other dogs. Typically they will bite and not let go (even when being beat with bats or tools) If they do let go they often recover quickly and resume their attacks.Most people who do survive an attack will be severely scarred and often disabled for life.
11:21 Dogs should not roam free. It is up to the owner to make sure that they are leashed and accompanied by their owners at all times. This is the worst thing that could have happened. My heartfelt empathy to the parents of the little boy. Prayers sent in abundance. I am so sorry for your loss. The laws have to be stricter I hold the owners of the dogs responsible. . This could have been prevented it's common sense.
@ it seems like the dog just snapped. This can happen with poor socialization mixed with breed genetics. The best thing is to teach your kids not to pet or approach unknown animals.
@muffydragonslayer, victim blaming? What is wrong with you? We all know that pit bulls are the problem. That and people not teaching their kids to stay away from strays and dogs they do not know

That lady is 100% right? We are all 100% accountable. Far animals just like we are for our children. Children grow up and leave the home, animals never do.

The fact that the owner did not immediately relinquish ownership of her dogs _knowing they had killed a child_ kind of says it all.

Have to wonder if these dogs are exposed to the drugs if it affects the dogs causing their violent behavior. Definitely something to look into, then stop these people from owning animals.
@@anitajoss9649 Irresponsible owners plain and simple. Need to be held accountable!
Why is it always thug types that have most the aggressive breeds where this happens?
@@gordocarbo exactly what I'm trying to say. Thugs and drugs go hand in hand. Is it the mistreatment or the exposure to drugs that cause the dog to become violent. We already know they are NOT responsible dog owners.
Dogs are private property. Government must go to court to dispose of private property legally.
They're treat dogs better than blackpeople
Holy shit! The owner of the dog had MULTIPLE FELONIES for drugs and violence.... And then having aggressive dogs off leash???? And this boy gets KILLED... And they want to give the owner a choice, and time to decide that the dogs can't be euthanized. Unbelievable... That poor child, the other kids who witnessed this, and the family of this boy..... I am sickened that they have to deal with this PREVENTABLE tragedy
More than likely she got the dogs because of her drug involvement.....and her stupidity. She knew what her dogs were capable of and chose the dogs because of it. She didn't care to train them, probably neither one has ever seen a vet, obviously drugs were more important to her than her dogs so in the end the dogs will pay the price for the owners stupidity.Unless you are highly trained and can devote your life to CONSTANTLY training and giving the dog the proper exorcise and attention it needs you should NOT have a Pitbull or a Catahoula. These dogs are muscular with tremendous amounts of energy and both have reputations of being aggressive even with the proper training. When these dogs attack the devastation is often fatal or severely disabling. If the child had survived his life would have been forever changed , filled with non stop pain, deep scars, severe PTSD, and probably confined to a wheel chair.I hope this child's family can get justice for their son's attack.
Yes, She has a lengthy criminal history, she does NOT NEED ANY DOG
With all those felonies, how is she not still in jail? This would never have happened if she was held accountable for being a danger to society.
what would have happened if the boys didn't get off their bikes to pet a dog (loose in the streets)???
I Loooove dogs. I like them better than people most of the time. However this is so wrong. The person that owns these dogs let this little boy, the community and the dogs down. You can’t let dogs run loose. I don’t know what breed these dogs are but any dog is able to bite. Do better people! RIP Michael. ❤
WHY IS THIS STILL HAPPENING??!!! My mother was killed 20 YEARS AGO by a vicious dog!!! The dog broke my mother’s neck in 2 places!! And this dog was reported Several Times but Nothing was done until her Death!! I DON’T understand at all!!! This poor kid and his family…I Know what they’re about to go through!!
So sorry for your loss.😢😢
@ Thank you 🙏
That’s terrible. I’m so sorry
I'm so sorry.
💜😔💜
Owner is 100 percent responsible.
Yep. They are responsible because they thought owning Bloodsport, fighting dogs was okay. One was a pit and one was a "mix". I'll just about guarantee that mix was a pit mix.
Not only the owner is responsible! So are the police and animal control. They talk about how important the community safety is but an eight year old is dead! You failed!
@@debbiemachelle2703 How can the police/animal control be there every time a dog gets out of a yard or is allowed to roam freely? I don’t understand how Law Enforcement is responsible in this case. It’s the OWNER’S responsibility to socialize AND confine their pet. The Sheriff even said that no one had ever called or complained about these animals before.
@shelby477 I 100% agree with you the owner is responsible. But I would guarantee that other dog didn't have pit in it, pits are not fighting dogs until they are trained to be, neglected or abused. The owner clearly was irresponsible with them, and the result was a poor boy lost life life. This is a result of any dog clearly being mistreated/ not cared for. I just wish people would start seeing that instead of trying to "almost guarantee they other was also mixed with pit"
@shelby477 As a person with personal experience owning the breed over many years, some rescues and some from pup ( 3 now in my home ) can say these dogs don't come out wanting to fight, they come out as a loving puppy that wants to please there owners. They are amazing family dogs like any other breed. Also, keep in mind that any dog breed is still an animal so as a responsible owner it thier job to take the proper steps with owning a dog. But like all dogs with proper training, socializing them with people/animals, proper medical check ups, exercise, nutrition.I can say firsthand how wonder they can be with responsible owners. It's so sad how people get the breed to look cool or make them mean. I, wish those people would stop getting dogs all together. Because clearly in this video they mistreated 2 different dog breeds with the same poor outcome from some or many forms of neglect, and this sweet young boy lost his life.
I will tell you why people don't report loose dogs. My neighbors dog came in the yard of my home daycare approached the children and growled at them. I called animal control and the next year of our life was hell. My husband is a cop. She repeatedly called his supervisor he almost lost his job. They harassed us, threatened and intimidated us. They threw fireworks at our house. It got so bad we moved and i closed my daycare just so my husband wouldn't loose his job and we could have peace and be safe. People who let their dogs roam feel entitled and they get angry and aggressive when they get called on it.
I’ve seen this happen as well…
I'm really sorry you went through that. There are indeed so many entitled people around here who feel like they don't have to use a leash or control their dogs.
Having said that, I don't think you should have moved. Leaving like that only would serve to positively reinforce such toxic behavior. I think every state has laws against stalking and harassment at this point, and you very well may have been able to gather evidence on video (equipment might have been cheaper than moving) and either seek criminal charges or get a restraining order. If your husband's supervisor was aware of the situation, he or she should have supported your husband; if your husband nearly lost his job because of someone else's wrongful behavior, that's more of a problem with the job (or its management) than anyone else involved.
That is horrific. But you have to report them because many do kill people. Also AC needs to toughen up.
That is so messed up!im so sorry your family has went through this!!
I have volunteered for years in animal rescue and this is unfortunately very true. The dog owners blame us for their dogs being taken to the shelter as a stray and they have to come get them.
As someone who was chased by a pack of dogs when I was around 8 years old, and thought I was going to die, but I rode my bicycle hard managing to get to a small building. I got inside, and those dogs were pacing around near the building. My dad was manager of the airport where I was riding my bike. I was traumatized for a long time because of that.. I can only imagine how horrific that was for that child.. God bless the sheriff, and animal control officer, for trying to get Justice for that child. There will never be Justice for his mother, and I'm sure she'll suffer with that for the rest of her life.
The dogs Owners should not have any say over the dogs at this point 😢
They should go to prison their dogs killed a Lil boy this is horrendous
@DebbieJ1234 Your absolutely right. That poor kid suffered a horrible death😭
Mistreatment often leads to aggression. Also, sometimes people express their own self image through their choice of dog, meaning people who see themselves as tough, strong, etc., will choose a breed that they think is similar to their self-image. People who glorify strength get a strong dog, then mistreat them, that's how this happens.
This isn't communist China you democrat
Absolutely true statement. 💯
A dangerous criminal shouldn’t be allowed to own a vicious dog!!!
Nobody should be allowed to own a vicious dog!!!!!!!!!
@ Specially a criminal.
How do you know a dog is vicious until it's vicious like I don't understand what the fuck you're saying. The most vicious dog on the planet is the Chihuahua
The dogs were vicious because of who owned them .
@ Correct. The more reason not to allow her to have them. Why didn’t anyone report these dogs and their behavior 🤔
My daughter was attacked by a vicious dog yesterday, she received Rabies vaccinations and is to return for a series. These loose dogs are a huge problem all over the state, animal services are full from negligent owners. Do better people. I’m sorry, but if my dog killed someone, I’d never wanna see that dog again because they are a murderer. Hold owner full accountable, this was 100% preventable!
A dog cannot be a “murderer”. That is a human thing. Dogs are animals and do what it is in their nature to do as dogs. A dog kills someone, it is an indirect murder committed by their owner. Their owner is the murderer by proxy.
Prayers for you & your child.❤❤
You also have to remember it's an animal, who is also a predator
Trey; I agree to a point but that's not always the case... You can be a good dog owner and something bad could still happen.. Dogs are animals and can turn on you for no reason so to say every situation is alike is ridiculous.. Anything can happen when having an animal for a pet especially a big dog
First of all prayers. But seek legal advice or this sort of thing will never stop.
The little boy with him must be so traumatized at what he saw so young to see something so horrific like that 😢😢
And so must the boy’s mother be. As a mom, I’d die myself if I saw my child killed by anyone or anything. The mom tried to save her son and was not able to. My heart breaks for her and the family. This was totally preventable and the owner needs to be held accountable. As in jail time. Nothing will bring back the life of the child.
There are no word that give his mother and father any peace May God give her comfort in this time know so many are praying for you.
I was about to comment about the friend. It's gonna take awhile but I hope he will be okay.
My heart goes out to Michael’s parents especially his mom who had to witness this horrible incident ❤
💔😭🕊️🫶🏼
Omg, I’m just now hearing about this. Unimaginable trauma.
She watched what were their 1020 dogs who would watch that and not do anything about it. There is no hose no weapons couldn’t kick beat throw dirt on the situation something I don’t believe that for a second.
@@mikegoodin3306 Have you ever seen dogs become violent? It happens fast and there's a period of surprise before anyone can act. Apparently you didn't even listen to what the sheriff said he heard on the 911 call. These were mothers and children in a situation where two dogs went berserk without warning. The mother of the boy threw her body on top of him to stop the dogs from attacking him more, but by then he was no longer breathing. One of the dogs likely tore his throat out, and that can happen in an instant once a dog knocks a human on the ground, so imagine how little time anyone had to react to what was happening. For you to come in here and say "try harder" about a situation like this is disgustingly stupid.
no need to watch, need to own firearm and use it to protect yourself and your family, any woman can do this, just need to train a little, remember police will NOT save you always, they need some time to arrive, and they are also known to make things worse
In this country dogs and their owners have more rights than the people the dogs maul and kill and those victims' families. It's insane!!!
Dogs have no rights!
This is rare. Aggressive dogs come from peoples bad, ignorant, or abusive owners or bad breeding created by people.

As a young boy being so decent to an animal and then this happens..... So very sad !!
Kids need to taught not to touch a dog at all
Parents teach your children not to go up to dogs and assume they are friendly and have been vaccinated! This boy died a horrific death! Not all dogs have a sweet nature or shots!
Teach your children never ever to touch strange dogs ! Unless it's an obvious puppy you have to be aware of possible aggressiveness or sick dogs with rabies ! Please teach your children !!
With the owner of the dog having that kind of a record & she’s not in prison means she’s an informant for the DEA. She needs to be off the streets too!
Apparently this woman doesn't seem to care after all her other charges. This woman needs to be charged with murder. Those dogs and others like them are weapons and owners need to be charged as such and held accountable. There needs to be harsher laws.
Banned! And made illegal to own or breed! Everywhere! OMG this is so sad. It’s time now. How many more have to die this horrible death. I’m so sorry mom. R.I.P. Michael❤
@jacquelinekoch7446 the dog is not the problem the human is. Ban humans!! Any animal has the potential to bite and cause harm. Just as any human can. Your ignorance is showing in your comment. Time to do some learning.
💯
These pitbulls are a problem. So many stories where even "formerly friendly" ones snap & bite someone. Their jaws are so strong & they can cause so much injury, and occasionally even death.
@@jacquelinekoch7446 They'll never ban them because the animal rights activist know that if you open the can of worms to ban one breed then you open up the can to ban any type of animal and the animal industry is a multi-billion dollar industry.
parents are now being held accountable if their child commits a crime same should be for pet owners. my heart breaks for this boy and his family.
It makes since
Exactly what I was just about to say.
Oh so the owner should have been in prison to begin with. Career criminal.
What the heck is wrong with the law. Two dogs kill a child and they don't go immediately and seize the dogs. A CHILD IS DEAD quit protecting the guilty 😢
They seized the dogs. They just can’t euthanize them without the owners’ permission. They could theoretically get the dogs back.
Humans mean nothing..lower than animals in the U.S.
Guess you didn’t listen. They seized the dogs.
@@justalurker5412This is Florida and I’m sure that they will get a court order to put the dogs down.

As a fellow dog owner I strongly agree with you. Too many are getting careless with their dogs and I too am tired of seeing people blindly take up for Pit Bulls. We're seeing larger numbers of deaths and maulings done by that breed and their mixes. Than we experienced in the 1970s and 80s

Charged, yes... For murder, no ! She didn't attack that young man, her dogs did . What those dogs did to that little boy is horrible . I'm so sorry that happened to him . R.I.P. young man . ❤️

@@tarras3292yes there has. I’ve watched the trials! They need to be charged too!
Omg! What an upstanding citizen the owner is! Hopefully she is charged and serves prison time!
PERMISSION ??? Are you kidding me???
It's COMPLETEL BULLSHIT!!!!!
They need a court order and they are going to get one
Correction. This is not rare. People are getting larger and more dangerous dogs every year. They are being bred to be larger and more dangerous, and then sold to idiots. To say that this boy's horrible death was a tragedy is insulting. This kind of thing is inevitable unless these animals are eliminated. Yeah of course all the neighbors have stories. How many times were the police called and did nothing? Now a little boy is dead, and I can't even imagine what his family is feeling.
You are correct. Most dog owners tend to anthropomorphosize their dogs. (Thinking they are like humans) This leads to faulty handling and denial that all dogs can bite. Some breeds are dangerous and have been bred for violence. This horrific extent of this boys' fatal injuries lend testimony to the fact that dogs are not humans and they don't think like humans. Many people with dogs are egregiously ignorant. Owning any animal is a tremendous responsibility.
agree, these attacts are not "rare" these happen everyday, some are just more severe than others.
I live inTN and called animal control for months about the pit bulls across the street who let their dog run around loose and charge me repeatedly. They were finally cited after 8-9 months of constant complaints to animal control and the local police along with video recordings of the dog charging me in my yard. They currently have their 3rd pit bull, after having been forced to get rid of the prior two. People like that should absolutely be held accountable for the actions of their "pets".
Sometimes you have to handle things yourself discreetly

So heartbreaking 💔
Eight years old. Why God?? My condolences to Michael's family.
Why does the owner have ANY right to those dogs any longer??
Maybe actually do something when you call animal services about dangerous dogs. There was a pit bull/mastiff cross pulling people off motorcycles in Marion County. Multiple people called about that dog but Marion County informed them that there was nothing they could do unless an animal control officer witnessed aggressive or you were willing to sign an affidavit and go to court as a witness. The people who owned the dog were drug dealers. No one was going to court to testify against them. Eventually, someone shot the dog because Marion County was fine with waiting until someone died.
I don’t own a firearm, but I keep a 4 foot long piece of rebar in my truck and at my house. If a dog attacked me or my dog that would be the last time. I think people need to be more proactive protecting themselves, their family and pets.
Right, AC is failing the public in many places
@@CastleMcUnless you know or work with an AC officer don’t say negative things like that. They are held to very strict laws on what they can and can’t do. Just like them not being able to euthanize these dogs without the owners consent. They should be able to do so but city laws prohibit them.
Marion county is a very bad county
Video of their county commissioner meetings on streaming video show them adopting pit bull animals out without full disclosure of what the animal is. Marion County is too worried about putting innocent people in jail to put people in jail it might even been one adopted by Marion county Fl. How about the officer that left his keys in the vehicle going to a suspicious person trying to steal a vehicle. This was not a cat in the tree call! The lady that stole the police car didn’t use any of the guns in there, but of course it was not for the sheriffs fault statements “not their officers fault”.
@karmab4391 probably was just a mastiff, but of course, people have to add pit onto it.
Heartbreaking. Just a little boy out being a little boy. Riding bikes with his friend. The owner should be held responsible. After knowing the dogs where aggressive and the owner still allowed them out in the neighborhood. She should be charged with manslaughter. At the very least. She wasn't even home and the dogs where out. Very negligent.
Yes, just ignore that part where the kid approached the unknown dogs. Had he just been riding his bike, he'd be alive. He chose an action that ended in his death.
@@robingalbraith323Had these vicious dogs been put up like the law says this child would be alive. It is not his fault at all! He was a little boy. Children pet dogs. The owner knew these dogs were vicious and still let them run the neighborhood. SHE needs to go to jail! She is fully responsible.

Charged this owner a murder!
Absolutely!
I think the owners should go to prison.
50 years.
right, and why wasn't she already in prison with that criminal record.
We dont allow these dogs in NZ: “The following five breeds cannot be imported into New Zealand: American Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Brazilian Fila, Japanese Tosa and Perro de Presa Canario. Other breeds or types of dogs can be added to the list of restricted dogs, but only after an Order in Council is agreed by Parliament.”
German Sheppards have gotten super out of control here in Canada, too. They seem to have become very popular but I've heard many stories of bites/attacks on other dogs/people
(personally from others and online).
Ah yes, discrimination based on characteristics and their appearances. What do we call that when it comes to people?
Uhh..!? WHAT? You gotta have the owner sign the dogs over..!? I'm sorry but the owner has already given up their rights the second the dogs killed the child.💙☮️🙏
Listen to this woman's history ? And she had dogs?
@@MattyNelson-rs3ik Why is the owner not already in jail? With the litany of charges against her she should already be in jail.
Exactly! She automatically should be required to forfeit all rights of the pets
only in America sorry
She has no say over having them confiscated, only over having them immediately euthanized. Once the evidence has been gathered and she is charged with a felony, she will not have a say any more. My immediate question about her is with all those charges, how was she still free!? She should be charged with negligence and cruelty to animals on top of murder, as well, for turning her dogs into killers!
Why encourage people to call you guys about dangerous dogs if you won’t do anything about it?
It's laws that are in place for that town state or county. The owners could turn around and sew the police and animal control for not taking steps that the law requires. Sadly part of their job doesn't allow government enforcement to do what you would think is the right thing. They have to do what the law requires no matter what has happened. And every state county etc have different rules. It's very sad.
That has seemed to be the norm in every other dog mauling case besides this one. People say they called dozens of times and animals were killed first and nothing happens.
I've called five times about an aggressive pit loose in my neighborhood, and they tell me they'll come some time and if they see them, they'll take them, but they might not come for a few hours. They never come.
No shit just wrote the comment about this.
@@michelleo3951I called in palm coast about a loose pitbul I kept seeing. Flagler sherif cruisers here in 2 minutes. Never saw the dog again. Rick Staley doesn’t fk around.
Anyone who lets there dogs roam around needs to be charged with animal neglect and endangerment.
So in America the authorities need permission from the dog owners to put them down? Pathetic. In my country if a dog attacks it is put down. Owners don’t get a chance to say no
You are absolutely right !
They do no knock warrants and accidentally shoot kids. But they can't seize a dog that ended a child. The dog is a deadly weapon at this point. And it's her weapon.
Due process! Read the constitution!
They used to be able to put dogs down long ago but animal rights activists and media propaganda changed the legal landscape over time
Yes, here in America, many people put animals above humans. Weirdos.
Don’t matter if the dogs were "defending their property" or not. They killed somebody. They gotta go. I love my dogs but if they killed a kid, they’d be gone in a blink of an eye.
The dogs weren’t near their property to defend it. They were a distance from home and in the boy’s neighborhood. They defended nothing. They simply snapped and attacked.
i would never even want to take the chance. I would never own an animal that has an instinct to attack children if it ever got away. And i could never love something like that in the first place.
@warondogs8199 THIS COMMENT!!! Why some people are obsessed with these type breeds is beyond me. They are a liability!
@@warondogs8199 you should never own dogs at all then because any dog can snap at any time. Some breeds are more notorious than others and that's not what I'm arguing, but every single dog has the potential to snap and cause harm.

@ In Germany, people that have Pitt Bulls have to pay higher taxes. They have to get a kind of license, and their dogs have to pass a test which will show whether they‘re dangerous or not. If a Pitt Bull is allowed to run loose, it will be caught and put into an Animal shelter. One never sees dogs running wild!

And as she said in the beginning it’s very rare incident which is BS just indicates the obsession of owning a dog, how many times this happens all the time but it doesn’t deter people from owning dangerous animals. Apparently dog’s life is more valuable then a baby
The 90 yr. old grandmother of a a member of my church was mauled by a pitbull who wandered into her yard while she was gardening. She died from her injuries.
That woman shouldn't have been out of prison too own dogs
Exactly them dogs were probably angry and hungry..under fed..
So getting exhausted tryinto read all of these replies.
How do we know she’s an ex con?
I’ll have to google this because people seem to already know.
Your ridiculous saying the lady should have never been out of prison! We have laws for a reason and if she served her time she has the right to be out of prison. Lock the neighbors up who never called about the dog running loose in the neighborhood!
@@YvonneBlake-d5j It is not illegal to not call about loose dogs.
Owner should be charged with negligent homicide.
My son was attacked at our local lake almost 3 years ago we just settled case the owner took her sweet time to comply my son didn’t surcome to his injury praise God I am so sorry to the mother of the boy
I’m so sorry for his family’s loss. My Lord!
Poor baby. 😢. This is horrific. This is beyond evil.
The owner needs to get life in prison for the murder of this poor young soul. Dogs need to be socialized and trained, not left to be neglected and allowed to run loose by some low life who couldn’t care less about the other residents in her community. I hope they are able to lock her up for life, if not she will just get new dogs and this will happen again. She doesn’t deserve to walk free or own another dog or any animals ever again. Deepest condolences to his poor mother, family and his young friend who was riding his bike with him. This is beyond heartbreaking 💔
Government & authorites need to change the ridulous laws and make it mandatory that owners be charged to the full extent. People do not report as nothing is done over and over. Pitt Bulls need to be banned or monitored with strict rules if you own one! So many times innocent people are killed, YES killed how does the law need to ask this disgusting owner to hand over the dogs. Just ridiculous get some balls government - So Sad for this little boy & family....
Because too many types that own these dogs are thugs and dont follow rules or laws...ever. Those dogs, the house was reported MANY times and this is the result
Obviously noone caress
It’s Not the dogs!🤬 It’s the Owner’s training/lack of training, & neglect/abuse. Dare I say Animal Control & Police have Failed the Public once again, by ignoring their calls.
It wasn’t so long ago that German Shepards, Rottweilers, & Doberman Pinchers were the Evil Deadly Breeds that “Had to be banned”, while chihuahuas have sent more people to Doctors offices, & ER’s for stitches.

There’s the ones adapting your mouth they have to put themselves in jail for adopting the animals out to people that they know they shouldn’t be just so they can call themselves a no kill shelter. They also move these animals around and lose their paperwork. It’s a very well known thing that these people do. I don’t know how the county is in sued for adopting these animals out and the problems that they cause the Santa said there’s no animal classifications tell that to the insurance company. I wonder how that’s going for him
@@jamesotto3681 WOW! If you handed in this paragraph (English homework) to your teacher, you'd flunk for spelling AND content. It makes no sense at all.
“This is very rare”
What?! No- actually it’s becoming a weekly/monthly issue hearing about fatal dog attacks all over the country. Dog bites, attacks have never ever been considered “rare”.
Exactly! Where did she get her data from?
It's not rare at all. Maybe rare in that community but not rare nationwide. Either children get attacked, or they jump on elderly people out for a walk. You can't even leave your house anymore . I stopped going to my park because people were dumping fight dogs in the woods at my beautiful nature park. Let's all take a guess what breed the dogs are.
@lisab.1595 Pit Bull owners hate other types of dogs and have no regard for other Humans safety.
Yes the other day a families baby was killed by their pit bull
Wasn't an owner killed by his own dogs around Orlando just a couple of weeks ago??? It's NOT rare.
God bess thus poor mother...may little Michael rest in peace ! Keeping this family in our prayers!
What a horrible way to die… none the less a child riding his bicycle with his friend🙏❤️🏆
Of course. However, Shock travels with a mistress named Mercy. I know from experience.
Nonetheless.
@ Thanks buddy!🏆
He’s with God now mommy ❤
I can’t even watch this. Just want people to know how dangerous their sweet pets can be for others. Innocent children, the elderly. Does NOT matter how good they are with you. Heartbreaking. Beyond. Words.
They know they are dangerous and dont care if anyone else gets bit.
Makes them feel tough (what a joke).
Stop blaming the dogs!
You’re not even willing to understand the basics. Dogs do not attack if not provoked, neglected or abused. Somebody has CLEARLY stated that these dogs have been ABUSED/ not treated properly. Dogs are great family companions, but if a psychopath or an i*iot owns one, they can associate certain gestures and movements with their oppressor and act on impulse. Traumatized individuals behave similarly.
@@AlaskaLPSYOU’RE WRONG🤷🏻♀️
@@AlaskaLPSyou are so clueless.
@@AlaskaLPSat the end of the day, they have an ANIMAL instinct, clear example of what happened to the boy, he went to pet them, and they killed him. Some dogs are just naturally aggressive even when they are NOT provoked.
Sad! That poor child so innocent being a child and to be killed by a dog is just so horrific! Prayers to the family and my thoughts to you all
Absolutely horrifying. That poor boy. People who let their dogs roam must be held 100% responsible. In Houston animal control won't even come when called about stray or loose dogs and many run in packs which we all know can be deadly to humans or other animals. I am a huge dog lover and always have had multiple dogs and they've never roamed freely outside of our fenced yard or have hurt anyone. My heart breaks for this child and his family.
This is NOT a rare incident of maulings by certain dogs.
Many years ago my Grandmother was mauled by a vicious dog. She needed 1,500 sutures and 5 operations to make a leg usable. The dog was famous in the neighborhood for attacking anything that was in the street in front of it's home. The next night someone did a drive by shooting and killed the dog. The police didn't care about my Grandmother but they did swarm the area investigating the dog's death. Laws do not help victims.
Justice for this young boy. May you rest in peace sweet baby.
San Antonio gave the dog owners whose dogs killed an 82 year old man 18 and 15 years in prison!
I can't believe the dog wasn't sanctioned by a neighbor. Absolutely shouldn't happened
People who have been arrested for drugs or violence, should NOT be allowed to own a vicious dog. Let alone two.
No one should own vicious dogs...duh! But I see people who can barely seem to handle the pitbull on a leash. It's so muscular.
NO animal!!!
Prohibition of rights doesn't stop criminals. Punishment stops criminals.
Just like they do with violent felons not legally able to own firearms
That is so terribly sad. My condolences go out to the boys' family & anyone who witnessed this horror 😢
No appeal. They killed a person!!!!
Anyone with that extensive history of violence, armed and otherwise, should have been prohibited from possessing such an animal.
Sickening. That sheriff is pissed as he should be.
Yeah, and I would think more so at the animal control lady that has basically no sympathy for the kid but the animal
@@jamesotto3681The animal control lady bravely managed to confine one of the dogs while the sheriff was presumably having the vapours on the sidelines.
With an owner with such a criminal record show how they raise their dogs.
Omg! His leg was broke?! His neck? Poor Kid. Poor Mom, and Friend. 😭.
Very typical of pitbulls to break bones. They have a bite force of 330 PSI, and were bred to take down take down bears, bulls and other large animals before they were bred to kill other dogs. Typically they will bite and not let go (even when being beat with bats or tools) If they do let go they often recover quickly and resume their attacks.Most people who do survive an attack will be severely scarred and often disabled for life.
My prayers go out to the little boys family. Some owners are HORRIBLE and deserve prison!
Respect to this sheriff for his openness.
11:21 Dogs should not roam free. It is up to the owner to make sure that they are leashed and accompanied by their owners at all times. This is the worst thing that could have happened. My heartfelt empathy to the parents of the little boy. Prayers sent in abundance. I am so sorry for your loss. The laws have to be stricter I hold the owners of the dogs responsible.
. This could have been prevented it's common sense.
Absolutely.
The owner is on drugs so … they are not in their right mind to make healthy decisions.
Dear God….bless this child and his Mother ❤️🩹
This woman needed serious help. Nobody with those issues should be permitted to own a lethal animal.
This is absolutely Atrocious, Horrific and downright Not ok any longer!
This is so sad. Just speechless. Thoughts and prayers with the family. RIP.
That poor boy and Mother, such a horiflic experience to go through.
I bet animal control has had numerous calls on the pitbulls roaming and harassing the public. Animal control should be held accountable, also.
No one called on these two dogs
The sheriff said nobody has called and reported these dogs. Neighbors should have reported dogs to prevent something like this.
@@FMT2003
They say they did!
@@FMT2003-So how’d they know the dogs killed chickens???🙄
@@cynthiamgrooms8195 The neighbors probably told them when they were there after the attack.
It is not this little boys fault, but please take this as a sign to teach your children to never pet unknown dogs!
It's so horrible😣 I just keep wondering if maybe they were taunting the dogs.
@ it seems like the dog just snapped. This can happen with poor socialization mixed with breed genetics. The best thing is to teach your kids not to pet or approach unknown animals.
@@Ashhfde7643 I agree 💯
I agree 💯
@muffydragonslayer, victim blaming? What is wrong with you? We all know that pit bulls are the problem. That and people not teaching their kids to stay away from strays and dogs they do not know
It's sad these dogs were allowed to annoy that area this long and no one called the proper authorities.
What a horrific way for that child to be killed
As a mother I would be ruined knowing how much pain and trauma my child experienced during his last breath
So damn sad 😢
As a mother I would be suffering guilt for letting my 8 year old run around the neighborhood with crazy people and vicious dogs out there!!!!
Poor child must have been terrified. To a little kid, those dogs are the size of lions. All fangs,claws, & growls like a monster. His poor mother too.
AMEN. UNFATHOMABLE.
@gasmith7486 running around one's own neighborhood is a normal part of childhood. That should never be questioned
I want to believe that God took him away while being mauled so that he didnt feel the pain...his body was destroyed but he was rescued to safety..
All of these convictions and yet she is still out there
probably why no one called on the dogs, she was probably a troublemaker in the neighborhood and no one wanted to get involved.
What do you suggest, that all criminals receive life sentences?
That lady is 100% right? We are all 100% accountable. Far animals just like we are for our children. Children grow up and leave the home, animals never do. They do not know how to take care of themselves. So heart-wrenching to hear of something like this happening to someone's child. God bless the mother and the family. ✌️💓🙏🙏🙏😭
This is not rare. I am seeing these stories daily. Something needs to be done.
