Babysitting Dog Tries To Protect IN Child

Nov 23, 2006 01:42 PM

New Media Producer: Kerry Corum

Police say one of two dogs entrusted to babysit a boy, used her maternal instincts to try to protect the boy from the second dog's attack.

Six-year-old Bamba Niang was at his Merrillville home - alone - on October 19th when he was bitten several times by the family's two-year-old male Rottweiler.

The boy told police he ran to his bedroom and the dog bit him again.

He says the female dog tried to save him.

Bamba is recovering from his injuries at a Chicago hospital.

Bamba told police he was playing kickball with the dogs, when the male dog suddenly turned on him and knocked him down.

Details of the conversation will be included in a report that eventually will be presented to the Lake County prosecutor's office.

Prosecutors will decide whether the boy's parents will be charged.

Poor kid.

I wonder what goes through some parents heads. Leaving young children alone is one thing, but thinking a dog can babysit for them.

The ball probably hit the dog and it took it the wrong way! Why would parents do that! I mean, sure I might trust a dog like that, but little kids can be clueless around animals!

WTH? Why, oh Why are people so downright stupid? Who would EVER leave a 6 year old at home ALONE? And in this day and age? My parents get all upset when they have to leave ME alone, and i'm FIFTEEN!!!!! Geeze. My brother and sister (12, and 10) are NEVER allowed home alone unless I'm there, and all the doors and windows are locked. (yes, my dad even checks the windows. :D) Parents have no sence these days....UGH!
