BAMBERG– A one-year-old boy died after he was mauled by four pit bulls in his home Saturday night, Bamberg County Sheriff Ed Darnell said Sunday.
Allen L. Young of 910 Sweetpea Road, Bamberg, died following the attack that occurred just after 10 p.m. Authorities believe the child died of multiple traumas to the head and body.
The victim’s father 25-year-old Michael Anton Young Jr., told deputies he had just moved in the mobile home where the incident occurred Saturday afternoon, according to a Sheriff’s Office incident report.
He said he put the child in bed around 10 p.m. before stepping outside the home to talk to his boss, who is also his landlord.
Michael Young said when he re-entered the home, everything was quiet, and he saw a few of the dogs exiting the bedroom. Young said he then saw his son on the kitchen floor, bleeding.
He and his boss transported the boy to Bamberg County Hospital, where Allen Young was airlifted to Palmetto...
