Parents used dog to punish kids

[Ron]

HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) - A couple face at least three years in prison for
disciplining their young children by letting their part-pit bull dog attack
them.

Joyce Hoskins, 47, and David Hoskins, 46, pleaded guilty Friday to three
counts each of assault and were being held without bail Saturday.

Investigators said the couple disciplined their 8-year-old daughter and
7-year-old son by allowing their dog - a mix of pit bull terrier, Doberman
pinscher, German shepherd and Labrador retriever - to attack.

The attacks took place over two years, and both children suffered bites that
required treatment, investigators said. The children are now in foster homes
and the dog has been euthanized.

MA--five year old foster child dies in foster home, mauled TO DEATH by family's
Rottweiler.

And we all know that CPS exaggerates, and does NOT include EXCULPATORY
EVIDENCE.
