3 accused of letting rats chew toes off Ohio baby
(AP) – 14 hours ago

WAVERLY, Ohio — Three people have been accused of letting rats bite a 6-week-old girl and chew off her toes at their cluttered Ohio mobile home.

Pike County prosecutor Rob Junk says the baby's toes on one foot were gone when sheriff's deputies went to the home Sunday after receiving an anonymous tip.

The baby is in fair condition at a Columbus hospital.

A married couple and the 18-year-old boyfriend of the baby's mother are charged with felony child endangering. They were in court for an initial hearing Tuesday. They're jailed pending a plea hearing in two weeks.

The prosecutor says they all lived in the mobile home west of Piketon, a village noted for its old uranium enrichment plant.

He says the baby's mother is a juvenile. He won't identify her or say if she'll be charged.

1. I heard about this a few days ago...
They should allow the rats to chew off the parents toes.

4. SO sickening! Three people, and no one could set a rat-trap?
What will happen to the baby? I hope the baby is never returned to the mother.

I think parents need a few years in jail to think about parenting.

8. I think they all need to be put in a room with some hungry rats ...
... just so they can experience what their child went through. Bastards. :(

9. We only have part of the story. Three adults, an underage teenager
Edited on Wed Jul-22-09 12:43 PM by hedgehog
and her infant are all living in a rat infested trailer why? Because they much prefer it to living in the clean house available to them down the street? Because it's so much closer to their well paying jobs? Because they have such an affection for Nature in all its forms?


My guess is the married couple foolishly allowed the girl and her boy friend and baby to move in with them because there was no other place for them to stay. I say foolishly, because now they're under arrest.
