Control Your Animals People! 2 Atlanta Kids Are Mauled By Vicious Dogs While Walking To School. One Child Dies From Injury.
This story out of Atlanta is enough to make you weep out loud. This morning two babies out of Atlanta, Georgia were viciously attacked by 3 unleashed dogs of a pitt bull descent. Six year old Logan Braatz and Syari Sanders were doing the most innocent thing you could ever do in this world. They were simply walking to school to gain a education. Who knew that one of the kids would never make it back home because of the careless act of one dog owner.
Here’s more out of ATL.
“A growing memorial now sits where a 6-year-old boy lost his life and a little girl was seriously injured when two dog attacked them in their southwest Atlanta neighborhood.
The attack happened around 7:30 a.m. on Cerro Street while the children were walking to F.L. Stanton Elementary School.
Three children were present during the attack, but only two were mauled by the dogs.
Fulton County Animal Control officials said one of the dogs is a pit bull mix and the other a border collie. A third dog got away.
The boy who died was identified as Logan Braatz, 6. The injured girl, identified as Syari Sanders, was listed in stable at a local hospital.
A neighbor detailed the graphic moment neighbors rushed to save three children during the attack.
“As I get to the end of the street, I see the child’s unconscious body laying in the middle of the street,” Clayton said.
He noticed another dog and followed it, finding children pinned on a porch in the back of an abandoned house.
“So I chased the dog away from the kids, and I noticed the second child, a little boy, his unconscious body laying down in the grass,” Clayton said.
The dog circled back to the child and Clayton said he chased the dog off with his gun.
“I picked the child’s body up because his mom couldn’t do nothing but sit there and just cry,” Clayton said.
Witnesses said the dogs were often seen roaming the neighborhood and were not wearing collars.
Animal control was sent to the scene, where they contained two dogs. Sgt. Warren Pickard said one dog was shot by officers.
The owner of the dogs, Cameron Tucker, was taken into custody but police did not go into detail about any criminal charges. Detectives spent the evening Tuesday scouring his house for any potential clues.
F.L. Stanton Elementary School released a statement regarding their students, which says in part:
“Atlanta Public Schools sent a crisis team to F.L. Stanton this morning to provide grief counseling for students and staff. Our deepest condolences go out to the family.””
It’s good to know that the owner of the dogs was immediately taken into custody. One child has lost his life and two children are scarred for life just because of his stupid and careless behavior.
Question. Isn’t a six year old a little too young to be walking to school alone. Hopefully the parents were close by, but obviously not near enough to fight those animals off of those babies. Nevertheless, our hearts go out to the families and all of the loved ones of the victims who were effected by this senseless act.
Get well soon Princess Syari and rest in Heaven lil Logan.
Why in the world were these babies walking to school by themselves?
