Pit Bulls Killed Boy and Mom's on Trial

Faibish's son, Nicholas, was killed June 3, 2005, after his mother left him at home alone with the two pit bulls, Rex and Ella, while she went with her daughter on a school picnic. Ella was in heat, prompting Rex to behave in a more aggressive manner, according to both the prosecution and the defense.

Faibish instructed her son, who was diagnosed with receptive and expressive speech impairments and had refused to attend school that day, to stay in the basement, where she had left snacks and a television. She told police she had given him a shovel to prop the door closed and keep the pit bulls away.

When Faibish returned almost three hours later, she found her son dead in an upstairs bedroom, and her efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Because the boy died, she faces a felony child endangerment charges with a special enhancement, and if convicted, she faces up to 10 years in prison.

It's not like these were the typical "family pet". "She told police she had given him a shovel to prop the door closed and keep the pit bulls away." Another fine example of fuckwittery!

Why on earth would you put your child second to the family pet in the first place.

If your animals are dangerous you put them down, end of story.

You certainly dont instruct your child to act in a secondary and fearfull manner, instead of the animal.

Is this woman fucking crazy leaving her defenseless child home alone with a pittbull in heat. Fuck them dogs! Put all three of them to death.

Umm. Why didnt she put them in the backyard? If she has a basement she probably has a backyard. I mean if i was her i wouldve locked the door instead of using a shovel to prop it shut. Im sorry but that is just a stupid and ignorant mom. She should go to jail.

you should try owning a house and dog at the same time,its not as easy as you think.no one deserves to go to jail especially for things the dont have total control over(dog).housing any canine is a very complicated job depending on the breed the owner and the neighborhood.
Back to the jail thing thats a crazy statement some one should go to jail for theyre dog is fucking insane,only a fool who has never been is eager to send another. GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS JUST PRAY YOU DONT FIND YOURSELF ON THE SHITTY END OF SOMEONES GO TO JAIL PROPAGANDA.

HOLY SHIT JUST READ THE ARTICLE ! FUCKED UP BUT STILL BELIEVES SHE SHOULD WALK . SHE WILL BE IMPRISONED ON THE INSIDE FOR A LIFE TIME , HER SON DYING SHOULD BE THE ONLY SENTENCE SHE RECIEVES. JAIL JUST MAKES IT MORE COMPLICATED (DOUBLE TROUBLE).

how the fuck are you going to send a mother away after she just lost her son because her family pets killed him? Why would anyone send this woman to trial? And taurus it really bothers me when people type in caps like that...:/ please stop...

i fucking hate stupid people....not saying the moms stupid, wasnt even her fault. 10 years in prison for that....some people are crazy. i wish i can go to there face and sock the shit out of it and bitch slap it

Man, it wasn't very responsible for the mom to leave her child at home with the dogs like that. But i don't think she deserves to go to jail, she obviously still cared for her child and the loss of her child is more than enough to teach her a lesson.
