2009 Fatality: 16-Month Old Killed by Babysitter's Pit Bull in Union County
Another Accident?
New Albany, MS - In a developing story, a 16-month old child was attacked and killed by a pit bull in Union County on Thursday, November 5. Union County Sheriff Tommy Wilhite said a family was babysitting the child and left the child unattended in a room when the dog attacked. The incident happened on County Road 87 about 5:30 p.m. A 19-year old, who was at the home at the time, hit the pit bull and stabbed it several times trying to get it off the toddler.
This death marks the third death of a child by a pit bull mauling in less than two weeks. Each of these instances involved a "babysitter."
