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.

These “reporters”, like having a permit would’ve prevented this from happening. Maybe if they raise the fees on the permits????
Sorry, I missed that. Just wondering though, why doesn’t the victim have his last name? And how old are the other two kids? Would you be surprised if she was younger than the age of consent when they were conceived?
Whoa, wait a minute, I misread it again...just because he’s a parent to his kids doesn’t mean he’s a parent to hers...still a daddy du jour.
Your logic is screwed....He IS a parent.
Why isn’t it believable? I’ve known people who have had snakes and they do escape sometimes. Getting into a crib. Is this difficult for a snake in your mind?
Alternative scenario?
Sure, he fathered and is apparently raising some kids of his own. But...
That doesn’t make him Shiunna’s parent, just her mommy’s boyfriend.
That doesn’t mean that your standard for being a parent (youy become one the moment after you set up house with mommy and start giving her the big shtupp) makes any sense.
It has noting to do with ‘
He and she are parents...he’s there acting as one...maybe not the ‘baby’s’ parent biologically or legally but I would guess they both are acting as parents to all the children who live with them....Can we move on now.
The mother (a parent in all sense of the word) was there and allowed this snake in the house....it was her house wasn’t it?
The story is unclear as to who’s house I guess...maybe it was his??
I am nearly 50 and my mom still refers to me that way when talking to my older siblings.
Didnt mess me up too much. (twitch, twitch.)
Kind of answered your own question didn’t you.
I would think the conversation would have started with, “where are you going with THAT thing?” when Junior started to move his stuff into the house.
There are inherent reasons why women are afraid of snakes. Its in the DNA.
See my post at #43. I recognize that the snake most likely acted on its own. But when a baby dies and when Mom’s boyfriend is on the scene, one needs to always ask the question: Is there any possibility that the boyfriend placed the snake in the crib?
So you have opportunity. You need motive and concrete evidence, i.e., witnesses or such. Hopefully, the police (and the ME) will construct as detailed an account as possible.
Makes you wonder why they didn’t hear the baby crying.
You know even though I am n animal lover and have had very gentle Great Danes in the past I’m not sure I’d allow one in the house if I had children under the age of 5yo? No way would I have a snake!
But how do you get a gvmnint check that way? *sarcasm*
