An unfortunate incident unfolded when a six-year-old boy was bitten by the family pit bull, triggered by his own mother’s misguided attempt at punishment.

According to local reports, the young boy was residing with his mother and her boyfriend, completely unaware that the duo would become the source of his trauma.

In an attempt to discipline him, the mother had shackled his hands and feet, unaware of the potential dangers her actions posed.

Angelina Williams, along with her partner, was apprehended and faced charges related to child endangerment, making him more susceptible to the peril posed by their pet dog.

She is also being investigated for allegedly tampering with evidence to obscure her culpability. Police reacted to a 911 call reporting a dog attack, where the child suffered bites on his neck and ear. Immobilized from the restraints, he was rendered helpless, becoming an easy target for the dog.

The boy was urgently transported to a local hospital where medical staff assessed his critical condition upon arrival.

In her defense, the mother argued she was unaware that restraining a child in such a manner was unlawful, asserting that her intention was to impart a harmless lesson. Now taking full responsibility, she expresses deep regret for the outcome of her misguided actions.
