2-year-old mauled to death by dogs at day care

Adrianna Jones had spent weeks researching daycares for her young son, Kaimir. She poured over online reviews, asked friends and neighbors for recommendations, and visited several facilities in her community. After considering all her options, she chose a small, home-based daycare that came highly recommended. Parents praised the caretaker’s attentiveness, and the place seemed warm, welcoming, and above all, safe. Adrianna wanted to believe she was making the best choice for her child. She wanted to feel confident that while she was at work, her little boy would be well cared for, safe, and happy

She dropped Kaimir off one morning with a sense of reassurance, believing he was in loving hands. Little did she know that the hours ahead would shatter that sense of security forever. The unthinkable, a nightmare no parent should ever endure, was about to unfold.

It began on October 4, in Valdosta, Georgia. Authorities report that 48-year-old Stacy Wheeler Cobb, the woman running the home daycare, fell asleep while Kaimir was in her care. For over two hours, the toddler was left entirely unsupervised in the house. What should have been a routine day at daycare turned into a horrific tragedy.
