RawNews1st – Police in Georgia say a 2-year-old boy was killed in a dog attack while under the care of a babysitter.

VPD says Kamir Jones’ mother had taken him to Stacy Cobb’s home for her to watch over him. Police believe he was left unattended for more than two hours. Cobb told authorities that she was taking a nap and thought Jones was well.

While Jones was unattended, he was able to get out into the backyard. Once outside, he opened a kennel containing two large Rottweiler dogs. Police say the dogs mauled the child to death.

VPD says Jones was the only child at Cobb’s house when the incident happened. However, on most days, she reportedly has around 10 children at her home.

Lowndes County Animal Control officers took custody of the two Rottweilers, as well as a third dog that was at the home.

VPD says detectives are continuing to process evidence, and more charges will be forthcoming.
