Elderly Colorado Woman With Dementia Mauled to Death by Dogs; Daughter Charged
In a tragic incident in Colorado, an elderly woman suffering from dementia was fatally mauled by dogs at her home. The woman's daughter, Alexis Bianca Hodge, has been charged with negligence in connection to the death. The incident occurred when the woman, left alone with the dogs, was attacked, leading to fatal injuries.
According to reports, Hodge allegedly left her mother, who was in advanced stages of dementia, unattended with the family's dogs. The dogs, described as aggressive, were not properly secured, resulting in the attack. Hodge faces charges of negligent homicide and animal cruelty, as authorities investigate the circumstances that led to the tragic event.
The case has sparked a discussion on the responsibilities of caregivers and the safety measures required when dealing with dementia patients and potentially dangerous animals. Community members and animal welfare organizations are calling for stricter guidelines and support systems to prevent such incidents in the future.
