VALDOSTA, Georgia (TMX) — A Georgia babysitter has been charged with murder after a toddler in her care was fatally mauled by two Rottweiler dogs, police said.

The Valdosta Police Department said officers responded along with firefighters and medics to a residence on the 3800 block of Pecan Drive at around 3:45 p.m. Saturday following a report that a 2-year-old boy had been attacked by dogs. They arrived to find the child deceased, and detectives responded to investigate.

Investigation revealed that 48-year-old Stacy Wheeler Cobb was allegedly running an unlicensed daycare out of the home. The victim’s mother brought the boy to Cobb to watch for the day, and detectives say he was the only child at the residence that day, though there are around 10 children there “most days,” police said.
