RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A 22 year old mother was charged with felony child endangerment Tuesday after her 6-month-old son's testicles were chewed off by a friend's pit bull mix in Riverside County.

Carrie Rae McKinney, who lives in San Diego County, left her son unattended on April 3rd in a baby carrier near a pit-bull mix at her friend's home, according to police in Murrieta.

The baby had been alone for several minutes when McKinney, who was in another room, heard his screams and returned to find the child's groin area was injured and his diaper had been torn off, according to Deputy District Attorney Gerald Fineman. The baby's testicles were severed in the attack, Fineman said.

Animal control seized the dog, as well as another dog that may or may not have been involved in the attack. Both dogs were euthanized.

Prosecutors say the attack was foreseeable because the dog had previously shown an interest in the baby's diaper.

They say leaving the child alone warrants a felony charge. 'Leaving the child alone in such a dangerous situation, that exposed," Fineman said warrants the felony child endangerment charge.
