"Ms. Jenkins said she placed the 4-month-old victim on a foldout couch in the living room," reported the sheriff's office. "Ms. Jenkins said she and her boyfriend slept in the living room on another couch. She said her two other children were in the bedroom. As for the dog, he was unrestricted and could go throughout the house."
The mother told officials she never heard the baby cry out.
The dog lost it's life too to be tested for rabies....The only known test for rabies involves euthanizing the dog and testing its brain for the virus.
"Ms. Jenkins said she was taking medication and never heard the child cry out and only discovered the incident when she started changing the child’s diaper," the sheriff's office reported. "The child was transported to Pitt Memorial Hospital. Medical authorities indicated the child may also lose his left foot."
Both Jenkins and Spillman are facing felony child abuse charges.
