Web tributes to boy killed by dog

Quote from: BBc Web Shite
Dozens of internet tributes have been posted after a one-year-old boy was mauled to death by a family dog.

Archie-Lee Andrew Hirst was killed by the rottweiler at his grandparents' home in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

Shocked friends have left tributes to Archie-Lee on social networking site Bebo on a page set up by his mother Becki Hirst, who has just turned 18.

Why is there a detailed forensic search of the place apparently in progress – I’d have thought the cause of the death was blindingly obvious…

Parental stupidity.

We used to have a  lemming, with the exception of the constant streams of suicide notes it was a wonderful pet. It never attacked children but it did frighten them by shouting 'Geranimo!' prior to leaping off the arm of the settee. Sad really, we tried therapy but with no luck, we couldn't take him seriously. He left us for another family. .

That thought occurred to me as well. I don't suppose the father (whoever he will be)will hang around for long either.
