Stories like this are always a bit of an enigma for me.
On the one hand you have a child dead, which is obviously horrific.
On the other, you have them destroying the dogs which did it, which is a reasonable course of action, but always makes you feel bad [me anyway]
What you don't see is the media attacking the parents, it's common sense not to leave a newborn baby around two dogs.
