Texas Babysitter Charged After Pit Bulls Kill 1-Year-Old

A 13-year-old girl made heroic efforts to save the child during the attack, but the babysitter faces multiple felony charges.

The incident occurred when babysitter Heather Rodriguez left 1-year-old Jiryiah Johnson with her teenage daughter and three pit bulls.
The dogs broke into the room where the children were, leading to a fatal attack on the toddler, despite the girl's attempts to protect him.
Rodriguez has been charged with serious bodily injury to a child, reckless bodily injury, and child endangerment.
The babysitter had previously been cited for not controlling her dogs, which had shown aggressive behavior in the past.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to assist the family with funeral and medical expenses.
