A mother and son have been jailed after an eight-year-old boy was left with life-changing injuries in a "ferocious and sustained" attack by an American Bully XL dog. Amanda Young, 49, was jailed for 20 months after she admitted being the person in charge of a dog dangerously out of control in a public place. Her son Lewis Young, 30, was jailed for two years after he pleaded guilty to being the owner, Sky News reports. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, suffered extensive head, face and hand injuries in the attack in the communal area of a block of flats in Bootle, Merseyside, on February 10, Liverpool Crown Court heard. The victim was taken to Alder Hey Children's Hospital following the attack and underwent surgery to try and reattach his scalp, but this was unsuccessful. Amanda later told police she had drunk three or four gins that afternoon before taking charge of the dog while her son was at work. "The injuries inflicted on the young victim, then aged eight, were catastrophic and life-changing by any measure," said Judge Andrew Menary. The victim had only been visiting the flats to play with a friend when he was attacked. Read More Related Articles Read More Related Articles
