RIDGEVILLE, SC (WCSC) -
The Dorchester County Sheriff's Office says the dog that bit and dismembered a 2-month-old boy was a dog that was recently-rescued and was new to the family's home.
A rescue dog mauled a 2-month-old boy to death in Ridgeville on Friday.
Dorchester County Coroner Christopher Nisbet said Aiden Lee McGrew was attacked by the dog at a home on Sandpoint Drive in Ridgeville around 11 a.m. Nisbet said that the child was transported to Summerville Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
During a press conference Friday afternoon, the sheriff's office said that the infant was asleep in a swing near the father's room when he was attacked by the dog. Authorities say the boy's mother was out taking her 7-year-old child to a doctor and when she returned home, found the baby's leg severed and called 911.
Nisbet says the father and another child, a 3-year-old, were asleep when the attack happened.
Chantel and Quintin's two other children, aged three and seven, have been taken into child protective services for the time being, WBTV reported.
