A Florida mom has been released on bail after being charged with child neglect in a case that involved a pit bull mix puppy gnawing off the fingers of a child.
Chloe Wisniewski, 21, was arrested last week following a four-month investigation, according to court records.
According to the arrest affidavit, on February 14, deputies in Charlotte County, Florida, went to a home in Port Charlotte, about an hour south of Tampa, to investigate a dog bite.
They met with Wisniewski, who recounted placing her baby in a bassinet so that she could take a ‘quick shower.’
While she was in the bathroom, she heard ‘screaming’ and left to find the new family dog Apollo, a three-month-old pit bull mix that the household had brought home the night before, ‘chewing’ on her baby daughter’s hand.
he mother said she immediately pulled the dog off the baby, wrapped the wounds in cloth and called 911.
She told deputies there was ‘so much blood’ that she couldn’t look at the baby’s fingers.
After emergency medical workers stabilized the baby, she was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital, where she was taken into surgery.
