A Texas woman, Heather Rodriguez, 36, has been arrested after a 1-year-old boy in her care was attacked by multiple dogs, resulting in life-threatening injuries. The incident occurred while Rodriguez left the boy with her 13-year-old daughter. The dogs broke through a door and attacked the children, leading to a struggle in which the teenager managed to barricade herself and the boy in a bathroom to call for help. The boy sustained severe head and throat injuries and is in critical condition. Rodriguez faces a charge of injury to a child with serious bodily injury by omission and may face additional charges. The dogs are now in custody of animal control, and Child Protective Services is also investigating the case.
