Baby’s Death Linked to Neglect and Unvaccinated Dog

A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded in Markle when a week-old baby boy, Jason Weaver, died after being attacked by the family’s pit bull, Chomp. The home was found in horrific, unsanitary conditions — littered with trash and infested with bugs — prompting authorities to order the family to vacate. Now, months later, multiple family members face serious criminal charges: the father, Austin Kinsey, is charged with a Level One felony for neglect resulting in death, while the mother, Violet Weaver, uncle Tony Kinsey, and grandparents Timothy and Rita Kinsey — along with Michael Wickey — face Level Six felony neglect charges. Rita and Michael also face infractions for harboring an unvaccinated dog. Authorities say the baby was left alone in a car seat for less than a minute when the attack occurred, and Chomp had a documented history of aggression that went unreported. The investigation continues as the family faces the legal consequences of their actions. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
