Mother speaks out after 7-month-old baby is mauled to death by family pit bull

Baby Elizah Renee Lynn Turner, 7-month-old, suffered a horrific death after being mauled by the family pit bull.

Her mother, Mackenzie Copley, spoke of the tragic loss, saying she’s “lost and heartbroken.”

Copley and her husband, Kameron Turner, had three pit bulls in the house. Following the incident, the dogs were taken away by Franklin Animal Control.

The attack, which took place on April 9, during which the baby was mauled by the pit bull has been investigated by the authorities.

As of now, no charges have been pressed against the parents who claim the bond between their dogs and their late daughter had been a sweet one, questioning how such an attack could have happened.

Copley took to Facebook to share her heartbreak regarding the loss of her baby girl.

“I will never understand why!!!” she wrote on Facebook Saturday, posting pictures of baby Elizah and the family’s pit bulls.

“I am so lost and broken. This was the same dog who was side by side with my baby every single day,” she added.

Eliza’s dad also shared his grief.

“Life is so not fair,” Turner wrote. “How can I continue living without her.”

Her obituary read that “Elizah’s face would light up the room and her laugh was contagious.”

“Lizah was spunky, happy, loved watching miss Rachel and she was never without a smile. She brought light to everyone’s life, healed her family’s hearts and gave them all purpose.

“Her favorite times were spent laughing with mom and dad. Her nickname ‘Kickin Wing’ was given to her by her grandpa. Every time someone new walked into the room her legs started kicking away because of how excited she was to see you.”

According to the Ohio police, Elizah’s death was a tragic incident.

“There is really not a lot of words I can say to convey how I feel,” Columbus Police Sgt. James Fuqua told WBNS, as reported by the New York Post.

“Everyone in this process is literally grieving as if this child belonged to us, because most of us are parents and can’t imagine just how this scene is,” he added.
