Mom Charged in Dog Attack on Son

In Murrieta, California, a woman has been charged with child endangerment after a dog attacked her son and mutilated him. Carrie Rae McKinney reportedly left her six-month-old son unattended in a baby carrier at a friend's home while a pit bull played nearby. McKinney was then in another room when she heard her son scream and found that he had been attacked. While there were two dogs at the residence at the time of attack, only one was believed to be involved in the attack. The infant and two other children have been removed from McKinney's care.
