BIRDSVIEW, Wash. – Skagit County prosecutors have charged a grandmother with third-degree assault, saying an infant girl in the woman’s care was attacked by a dog twice in two days. Prosecutors are alleging criminal negligence.

The Skagit Valley Herald reports that the dog that attacked the baby girl belonged to the 49-year-old grandmother, DeEtta Dezarn. The child was taken to a Seattle hospital on Aug. 2 after the more serious attack.

Authorities say the 9-month-old girl was hospitalized for nine days recovering from facial wounds and a skull fracture from bites on her head.
