Python kills two-year-old baby

An eight-foot Burmese python strangled a two-year-old baby in her parents’ home in Oxford, Florida last Wednesday.

The python allegedly managed to escape from its fish tank prison, and slithered towards Shaunia Hare in her crib. Shaunia was already dead when paramedics arrived at the scene.

Charles Jason Darnell, the owner of the snake and the boyfriend of Shaunia’s mother, said that he discovered that his snake was missing, and proceeded to look for it. He went straight to the baby’s room where he found it with the girl. The baby had bite marks on her head. Darnell stabbed the snake until he could pry it away from the baby’s body.

Darnell did not have a permit for the snake, but was not yet charged for the offense. Investigators are also looking into possibilities of counts of child neglect issues.

    "The python allegedly managed to escape from its fish tank prison..."

    Right off the bat this article gets my goat. The words "allegedly" and "fish tank prison" show that the reporter cares more about the animal than the human infant prey.

    And the poor baby had bite marks on her head because the reptile tried to swallow her but found out its eyes were bigger than its jaws! DUH!

    "Darnell did not have a permit for the snake, but was not yet charged for the offense." If the predator were a pit bull, the smuck would have been charged with child endangerment at the very least and then some!

    My point is: boyfriends and animals and babies don't mix. Ladies, get your jollies but don't bring perps home to your kids, human or non-human.
