Baby Bitten 100 Times By Pet Dingo-cross

[Loving my Oldies]

I have a friend whose toddler fell out of bed. In her sleepy state, she put her little one back into bed and went off to sleep. When she dound her daugher in the morning, her pillow was covered in blood. Fortunately, the child was okay, but for me it is totally believable that someone could, in a sleepy state, not realise that something really bad has happened.

Exactly. People who weren't there don't really know what happened.

People who have disabled or just unwell children are generally exhausted and operating on autopilot, especially if woken from sleep.

And as a personal experience: I was bitten by a dog a couple of years ago, had a few puncture wounds and one wound which hardly bled at all required seven stitches.
