Thanks for your dispassionate analysis of the scenario.
However, a few more details would be helpful.
Age and occupation of the mother? 45? Unemployed? Age and occupation of the "boyfriend?" 19? Just released from prison?
Breed of the dogs?Rottweilers?
Regards,
Your questions are reasonable, but alas are outside the scope of information that is currently available to me, situated as I am approximately 320 miles from Chardon Ohio and it’s environs.
