Babysitter Charged After Boy Killed by Pit Bulls
A tragic incident in Texas has left a 1-year-old boy, Jiryiah Johnson, dead after being viciously mauled by his babysitter’s pit bulls.
The babysitter, Heather Rodriguez, had left the child in the care of her 13-year-old daughter, who desperately tried to save the boy as the dogs reportedly played a horrific game of “tug of war” with him.
Despite her efforts, the child could not be rescued. Rodriguez has since been charged in connection with the incident, and the boy’s death has drawn attention to the dangers of leaving young children with potentially dangerous animals.
The community is in shock as investigations continue.
