The incident that left seven-month-old Samaj S. critically injured reportedly happened in Washington, D.C., USA, on Thursday, 3rd November.

On the day of the attack, Samaj S.’s mother had left him at his babysitter’s place and headed to work.

But the babysitter, who reportedly had some side tasks at the time, left him with another adult person who the boy’s family did not know.

Semaj’s aunt stated: “My sister had left her baby with someone who was supposed to watch her baby for her.

“That person ended up leaving her baby with someone else without her knowing.”

Samaj was during that time brutally mauled by the caregiver’s two pit bulls who attacked soon after his babysitter left him.

The little boy was immediately rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Washington D.C. where he underwent surgery three days following the attack on Sunday, 6th November.

He had reportedly suffered a fractured skull and other serious injuries, according to his family’s statements.

Semaj’s aunt told media: “Every day is a fight for him.

“Every day is something different. He is still critical in the NICU.”

She added: “This is just unbelievable.

Something that we would’ve never thought would have happened to us.

“It is hard, it is stressful, it is sad. We really just need some prayers and some support for my nephew. He is really fighting for his life.”

A spokesperson from the police confirmed that the daughter of the put bull’s owner was also severely injured during the incident.

Media did not disclose what was the reason the dogs attacked or what happened to them following the event.

The police initiated an investigation to determine whether the owners will face any charges.

Meanwhile, Semaj’s family started a GoFundMe to raise money and pay their son’s medical expenses.

A family member stated: “He is in intensive care with a very, very long road to recovery.

“We are extremely overwhelmed and have never dealt with a situation to this magnitude before.”

Seemingly concerned about the boy’s psychological well-being, Semaj’s aunt added: “His life has not even started yet, and he’s already been traumatised.

“I want everyone to just be mindful of your animals.

“And what they can do, what they can’t do. Who they can be around and who they can’t be around.”
