DNA Proves Pitbull Sexual Attack Possible

**Silvahalo** · July 15th, 2009, 06:23 PM

I'm rather sure this was posted awhile back but for the life of me could not find it. Maybe it was posted in response to another thread?....feel free to merge it if this is the case. Not sure if an update was ever posted tho.

Just horrific for the mother to find her baby like this.....uuugh.

Lockport Police say DNA results show no human involvement in the sexual assault of a two year old boy July 8th.

Jessica Weinstein: "So this proves that it really can happen?"

Chief Neil Merritt, Lockport Police: "I don't think that there's any doubt because there's a number of witnesses, because this occurred inside, then the dog ran out onto the porch."

The mother told Lockport Police that she left her two year old unattended for a short time and after hearing the baby scream, she ran to see what was wrong.

When she got in the room, she told Lockport Police the dog, named "Bear", had sodomized the toddler. The mother screamed, scaring the dog out of the house, but the dog was still attached to the baby.

One neighbor told 2 On Your Side, she heard the mother screaming "The dog is raping my baby." Neighbors ran to help, but only one man was able to get the dog and child apart.

Anastacio Castillo says "I tried to get the dog away from the baby, the dog was already inside the baby." When the baby was finally free, he was visibly sick. Castillo says the boy was vomiting and bleeding.

The baby was rushed to Women and Children's Hospital where the toddler underwent reconstructive surgery. Hospital officials are no longer verifying that he is a patient there.

Lockport Police say they continue to investigate how a pitbull sodomized a toddler. They are looking into calls that the dog may have been trained, but they don't know by whom.

"Some experts are saying that it's not possible for a dog to do that without being trained, and then we have experts that say it's very possible, that it could happen, the dog just being exposed to the scent of a female dog in heat," said Merritt.
[...]
The pitbull has been evaluated. According to officials at the Niagara County SPCA, the dog spent 24 hours with an animal behaviorist. Results of the evaluation will be turned over to police.

Since the attack, over 20 people have called the SPCA asking to adopt the pitbull. Chief Merritt says it'll likely be up to a judge to decide what happens to the dog after the investigation is complete.

"I know a court can order a dog destroyed if it's a danger to the public or it's exhibited harmful behavior," he said.
...
Miranda Workman, behavior specialist at Purrfect Paws in Amherst says, "Most likely this is not a learned behavior. Dogs in tact, not spayed or neutered have a higher hormonal drive."

She urges parents to never, ever leave their children alone with a dog.

You know seriously it would have never occurred to that my baby might be in danger of being raped by a dog. I guess so, its an animal, goes by instinct.....Christ just awful. Heal completely little one.

That is horrifying, I never would have imagined such a thing could happen. I can barely wrap my mind around it.

Heal completely little one.

**malq** · July 15th, 2009, 06:27 PM

Holy cow, you can train a pitbull to be gay. Poor kid I hope he is too yound to remember that

**Athena** · July 15th, 2009, 06:28 PM

Jesus.

I guess I'm glad that I have a girl. She occasionally humps Mike's leg, but that's just funny.

**Aslan** · July 15th, 2009, 06:33 PM

Wtf?

This is just...

**Dakota Valkyrie** · July 15th, 2009, 06:33 PM

Is it odd that my hand was stuck covering my mouth while I read this? Not sure if it was in horror or to prevent vomiting... or both.

LOL Oh, yeah! Only 20, though?

**Persephonae** · July 15th, 2009, 06:39 PM

whaaa. . .
I'm horrified

**Silvahalo** · July 15th, 2009, 06:58 PM

Yeah, plenty of people calling about the dog. I guess thinking there might be a abuse factor involved, I get that but how about a call to see how baby is doing? I'd sure like to know if there was any permanent damage to this little one.

I just can't get that awful visual out of my head......I need to go wash my brain now.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!!! You are so right on with all you said. I know there are lots of animal lovers, I am one of them, but have me choose between a child or an animal....Guess who I would choose?

**Applauding you**

**Unamused Cat** · July 15th, 2009, 11:03 PM

Personally, I would've shot the dog.

I did the same damn thing. Jesus.

**sanityslipping** · July 15th, 2009, 11:39 PM

*shudder* I've been on watch since I got my boys back to make sure they still love my daughter, and tolerate her, so far so good. One thing I was worried about, is that maybe one of them would try to hump her, to establish dominance or whatever. They've never humped us but do try with each other. Never in a million years did I think a dog could actually rape a baby. How absolutely horrifying to witness it happening to your own kid. And I know how difficult it can be to separate a dog in the act...

We had a beagle, Katie, and a stray we adopted, Fred. Well, Katie was another stray, and we'd had her for a few years already, and we thought she may have been fixed... but she went into heat, and well, Fred, did what came natural and being a stray he hadn't been taught any manners, but poor Katie, didn't want no part of short lil Fred, she had her eyes on our other dog, Rocky. She tried to run away, but Fred was already "engaged" so she was yelling, running around the yard, with Fred stuck to/in her, getting dragged behind her. My uncle caught the pair, and pulled them apart, but it wasn't an easy task as Fred was really stuck. The sound of a Beagle yelping like that is absolutely horrifying btw.

noooooooooooooo

**smallwonder4** · July 16th, 2009, 07:15 AM

This happened about two years ago, and I'd not heard any update. This child should hopefully be healed completely and the dog in a new home. At the time of this incident, there was speculation that the dog had been coerced at other times to ________ people. I can't even come with a correct term, because people fuck and dogs mate, but what people and dogs do together is neither

I guess this is just another reason not to leave a child and (in tact pit bull) dog unsupervised. This could have been prevented.

I know this is awful to say, and I hope I'm never faced with the situation, but the man who pulled the baby off the dog's member probably did extra damage. The mechanism that ensures fertilization in dogs holds them inside the female. She can turn and run, and he'll be dragged behind her as long as they're still tied. Packing on ice, using a hose, etc are options, but pulling them apart is very dangerous.

Man am I glad to have all (spayed) females.

Cool! Thread version of MadLibs!

This is horrible.... I need brain bleach now.

If someone actually trained that dog, they need to be shot too. Uggg, i'm gonna puke.

**buggysmommy** · July 16th, 2009, 12:04 PM

My fucking stomach is in a state of shock! Just fucking nasty man!

**DamagedGoods** · July 16th, 2009, 12:11 PM

I must apologize in advance for this....

after the horror & the confusion... came the thought, stated in an Aussie accent.

"A dingo raped my baby!"

**totallytoddler** · July 16th, 2009, 12:23 PM

Ok so either a) the dog was trained to take pants off, or b) the mother left the child unattended and NAKED with a pitbull????? I just do not get how this could have happened???

What. The. Fuck.

And I agree the dog should be shot. I love dogs just as much as the next girl....but c'mon.

Editing to ask....even if the boy was wearing only a diaper...and the dog tore it off......wouldnt he have been screaming? How far away WAS the mother from her 2 yr old?? Did she not hear him? Again...What. The. Fuck.

**Silvahalo** · July 16th, 2009, 01:52 PM

I agree TT, same questions here. I guess some people do leave there kids running around butt nekid a lot, I mean I do for "air" time but not as a usual way of undress.

I would think the child would have been screaming bloody murder immediately scared shitless then in a lot of pain. Does seem odd. Its seem so surreal like a freakn' nightmare nothing that could actually happen.

**totallytoddler** · July 16th, 2009, 02:25 PM

OK..I cant stop wondering.....so was Doggie DNA found inside the toddler? Am I missing that part? Because if no human DNA was found, and no doggie DNA was found......and unless they trained Fido to put on a condom.....I think I want to call bullshit on this one.

Have they ruled out foreign object? And parents covering up...blaming the dog?

**Death Bed** · July 16th, 2009, 03:45 PM

Ya'll are grossing me out. I didn't think that was possible. Congratulations!

**Nell** · July 16th, 2009, 05:01 PM

Seriously, you guys are going to try and blame the mom? So, if the little boy was naked or learned how to remove his diaper, (as a lot of toddlers do) she somehow should have known this would happen? Are you serious??? And asking why she didn't hear him scream? Did you read the article?

The mother told Lockport Police that she left her two year old unattended for a short time and after hearing the baby scream, she ran to see what was wrong.

And questioning the DNA, suggesting she covered for a man? What the hell? There was DNA proof............

Lockport Police say DNA results show no human involvement in the sexual assault of a two year old boy July 8th.

Did you read that? No human involvement. Besides the fact that.....

One neighbor told 2 On Your Side, she heard the mother screaming "The dog is raping my baby." Neighbors ran to help, but only one man was able to get the dog and child apart.

Anastacio Castillo says "I tried to get the dog away from the baby, the dog was already inside the baby."

Neighbors witnessed this. So you think she let some man rape her kid, then got the dog to somehow get on the boy, run outside with him still attached, yell for the neighbors to help, and all just to cover her penis? Really?

**Death Bed** · July 16th, 2009, 05:09 PM

Nell the Bounty Hunter!

**Dakota Valkyrie** · July 16th, 2009, 05:45 PM

A two-year-old can get naked faster than any human on the face of the planet. Just this morning we had to redress my granddaughter in the lobby of the airport. (She had a major aversion to her shirt.)

**MC30** · July 16th, 2009, 06:36 PM

Nope, not blaming the mother, just questioning the whole damn scenario, and yes 2 yr old's., as I have one are fast as flash gettn' nekid. Just trying to put all parts to this together as to see how the fuck this happened. Like I said, absolutely horrific for the mother to find her baby this way and that she didn't fathom her baby could be raped by a fuckn' dog.

Something this bizarre and brutal has to be questioned, at least I would think so as to prevent it from happening again, so yeah damn straight I will question as baby was rapped by a dog for christ sake. As I can see here the number one lesson is to NEVER leave a child unattended with a animal, in this case a dog or your worst unimaginable nightmare might come true.

For the record, the dog rapped the baby, I blame the dog even if it was just animal instinct.

**smallwonder4** · July 16th, 2009, 09:48 PM

Sorry, I'd blame mom the same way if the dog had mauled the child with his teeth. If you want to have dogs (let alone in tact pit bulls) and children, you have to take extra precautions. Btw that's a long slim snout on a pit bull, IMO. I love the breed, and I have 4 pits (2 full, 2 xs) and I don't discourage children from coming over, but I sure as shit NEVER leave kids alone with my dogs... not even with my therapy dog (who is also a pit x). Not with my full pit bull that fosters kittens. Not with the kittens she fosters. Kids and pets require supervision ESPECIALLY when they're in tact and especially when the pet is particularly powerful. I think that is common sense.

ETA: they'll probably never prove if the dog was taught this behavior or not since they've not come with any further details in the last two years. I think if it was really an instinct, it would be more prevalent.
