A distraught caller trying to save the life of a 2-year-old Florida girl strangled by a pet python screams "The baby's dead!" in chilling 911 tapes released in the toddler's death.
Shaiunna Hare died early Wednesday morning after being attacked in her crib by the snake, which escaped from its aquarium, police said.
"The baby's dead!" a sobbing caller from the house screamed to a 911 dispatcher. "Our stupid snake got out in the middle of the night and strangled the baby."
Authorities did not identify the caller and removed the person's name from the recording.
"She got out of the cage last night and got into the baby's crib and strangled her to death," the caller says in the tape.

Baby pays the price of parents stupidity!
Sad. The snake was doing what snakes do. It is so sad that a child had to perish because the parents could not see this obvious danger.
Similar to the type that keeps pit bulls, I guess.
I hope they investigate this. Getting out of its aquarium? Getting up into the crib? I’m not sure this is beleivable.
A python in an unlocked cage with a 2 year old baby and moron parents.
Bad mix.
As a new father of a 2 yr old myself, this story just horrifies me.
“Our stupid snake got out in the middle of the night and strangled the baby.”
The snake isn’t the stupid one.
Very tragic.
It’s not the snake that’s stupid.
an 8 foot python?
More “live in boyfriend” crap. If Mom is stupid and/or horny, the kids have a hard life.
Idiots deserve to have their reproductive rights taken away from them, but that would be unconstitutional....
Now why in heaven’s name would someone keep a python. That’s just stupid. And to have it around with little kids. Maybe it should have wrapped itself around the owners pea brain... STUPID! The parents should be tried in a court of law for being so stupid. I really hope they don’t have other kids.
stoopid peoples first victims are usually their children
The same kind of people who have pit bulls. I’ll bet they claim they can’t afford health insurance but have a couple of thousand dollars in tattoos.
Parents?
Karen Ashley Hare, 21, and her daughter shared the home with Hare's boyfriend, 32-year-old Charles Jason Darnell, deputies said.
I’m with you. These people are stupid beyond belief but I’m not sure I’m buying the story.
Unlocked cage, snake had already escaped earlier in the day.
Florida law says the cage needs to be locked and it wasn’t. Stupid parents, poor baby.
What part did smokin’ an’ drinkin’ and dopin’ and fallin’ asleep after the baby was in bed have to do with this story? Inquiring minds want to know.
The most disturbing part is the fish and wildlife spokeperson saying the snake will be placed in a “new home.”
