Murrieta police say the 22-year-old mother Carrie McKinney had left the baby in a car seat on the floor in her boyfriend's apartment on Saturday. Sgt. Bob Landwehr says the woman and her boyfriend, Doug Ritchey, left the room when pit bull and pit bull mix attacked the baby, tearing off the infant's diaper and biting his scrotum.
The baby was taken first to a hospital, then to Loma Linda University Medical Center for surgery, Murrieta police Sgt. James Ganley said. The boy lost his testicles.
McKinney has temporarily lost custody of the infant and could potentially face criminal neglect charges, Ganley said. Child Protective Services took the baby from the mother. The dogs will be euthanized.
