Was Jackie Simpson charged with child endangerment for being drunk and stoned while she was supposed to be taking care of her granddaughter as well, or was it just the manslaughter charge?

The dog by no means was good, but he was raised that way, not because of his breed. They are no more agressive than any other dog. I’ve heard some horror stories involving the friendly, family German Shepherd and the new baby, so he shouldn’t be condemned merely for being a pit bull. And pit bulls are not legal in my area either; however, I see them all over my neighborhood. They are able to be there if they were there before they were banned, but the owner has to obtain a dangerous dog liscence and pay some kind of insurance (that is expensive), which I am certian most of the dogs are not legal. Although it does hurt when I go to the humane society and see the pit bull puppies that are sweet that will be put down because they are pit bull. Now that I’ve ranted a bit about that, I will move on.

If it were my grandaughter (or really any kid) that my dog attacked in such a manner (which I am almost certian would never happen, I trust my dogs with my life), I would do everything to get them to stop. If I could not get it to stop or get him off of her by force, I would not think twice in getting a gun and shooting it dead or getting a knife from the kitchen and cutting it’s neck/jugular where it would die very quickly and have to release its victim. However, since Jackie was on drugs and alcohol maybe she wasn’t thinking clearly enough to do either of these things. You would think people would move hell and high water to protect their kin though.

Ultimately, I believe it was a bad judgment call on Jackie Simpson’s part, and I feel that had she tried hard enough she could have got the dog off of the child. However, I feel that whoever (whether it was Jackie, Kiel, someone else, or both) that taught that dog to be that way is the one truly responsible and they should be punished. Normal dogs do not do that. I understand dogs get jealous, but they should never be made jealous enough to do that to a child. I understand you not entirely trusting your pet around strangers; However, you should be able to trust them around your family. If you can’t trust them with family, you either need to work on it extensively or put them down.

Such a beautiful little girl . . . and such an awful thing happened to her. It’s really sad.
