SUMMERVILLE, S.C. -- A 2-month-old child was killed and dismembered by a dog in his family's South Carolina home Friday as his father slept, authorities said.

Aiden McGrew's mother called 911 when she got home around 11 a.m. and discovered the boy's leg was severed by a retriever mix the family had taken into the home a few weeks earlier, Dorchester County deputies said.

The boy died at the hospital a short time later, Coroner Chris Nisbet said in a news release.

Nisbet said the boy was bitten and dismembered, but he refused to answer additional questions about the infant's injuries. He said he hopes an autopsy scheduled for Saturday will determine if the boy was dead before the dog dismembered him.

"Today is one of the saddest days in my 20+ years of being in the Dorchester County Coroner's Office as I report to all of you one of the worst deaths I have ever handled," Nisbet wrote in his email to the media, which had the subject line "Today's Nightmare."

When the infant was injured, McGrew's mother was taking the family's 7-year-old child to the doctor. The father was sleeping in a bedroom with a 3-year-old child, while the baby was in a baby swing outside that room, Dorchester County Sheriff L.C. Knight said.

Investigators are still trying to sort out how the attack unfolded. The father was being questioned by deputies Friday afternoon, Knight said.

"It's terrible. I don't want to go into details about exactly what happened because the investigation is still ongoing," Knight said. "It was a real bad scene."

The two other children in the home have been taken into protective custody, Knight said. Prosecutors are also following the case and the sheriff expects all the investigators will meet next week to discuss if any charges should be filed.




The sheriff said that the family apparently had two dogs, one they had for some time and the dog that attacked the child which they adopted in recent days. The dog that mauled the child was in a holding pen behind the sheriff's office late Friday.

A woman answering a number listed for the home refused to talk about what happened and told a reporter to not call her back.

No one answered the door at the white mobile home in a wooded area with a cluster of similar homes about 30 miles northwest of Charleston on Friday evening. The home had a small doghouse and a small wooden porch in front.

Neighbor Shirley Pargiello said she did not really know the McGrew family who had to drive past her house on the driveway to their home set back from the road.

"I only saw them getting in and out of their car but they were very loving to their children," she said. She said the family's second dog was a yellow lab and she had never seen the smaller dog that had been taken away by deputies.

"I know they have to be in shock," she said. "I know what it's like to have children and grandchildren."

Less than a year after a South Carolina family had lost their infant son in a horrific dog attack, their older child has been bitten by another family pet.

Department of Social Services told the sheriff's department that the child had suffered a puncture wound to the cheek and beside his nose after being bitten by a dog at the Ladson home of Quintin and Chantel McGrew.

Last April, the couple lost their two-month-old son when he was mauled and dismembered by a family dog while his father slept. Quentin McGrew is awaiting trial on a charge of illegal conduct toward a child.
antel McGrew told The Post and Courier of Charlestonshe did not want to talk about the matter but did say her child lived after this attack.

On April 20, 2012, authorities said the McGrews' two-month-old son, Aiden, was in a bouncy swing when he was attacked by the family's rescue golden retriever mix while Quintin McGrew slept.


Chantel McGrew called 911 when she got home from a doctor's appointment and discovered the boy's leg was severed. Aiden died at the hospital shortly after he arrived.

The dog has since been euthanized and apparently replaced by another animal.
ollowing the baby's death, which was classified as a homicide, DSS officials removed the couple's two other children, a seven-year-old girl and two-year-old boy, from the home.


The children were returned to the McGrews in June, but were removed for a second time just two months later after the couple’s daughter told officials that she watched homemade pornographic films depicting her parents and witnessed them engage in a threesome with a woman.


Short life: Baby Aiden was killed last April while staying in his bouncy swing as his father slept
The two surviving children were back in the custody of their parents in September after Child Services investigators concluded that the allegations against them were unfounded.

That same month, Quintin and Chantel McGrew pleaded guilty to stealing a relative's wedding ring and were sentenced to a $750 fine each.

DSS officials told WCBD-TV that they are not aware of any plans by the agency to remove the McGrews' children from their home for a third time.

Another child bitten at SC home where infant died

Published: Yesterday

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) - Berkeley County sheriff's deputies are investigating after the Department of Social Services says a child was bitten by a dog in the home of a family that lost an infant in a dog mauling last year.

DSS told the sheriff's department the child suffered a puncture wound to the cheek and beside his nose in a dog attack at the Ladson home of Quintin and Chantel McGrew.

The department was notified last week but officials did not specify when the incident occurred.

Last April, the couple's Labrador retriever mix mauled and killed their baby Aiden as he sat in a child swing. Quentin McGrew was sleeping in a nearby room at the time of the attack. He is awaiting trial on a charge of illegal conduct toward a child.

After the mauling last year, the couple's two other children, a 7-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy, were temporarily removed from their home. The incident report filed with the sheriff's department had the name of the victim redacted, but referred to the victim as a boy.

Contacted by The Post and Courier of Charleston, Chantel McGrew she did not want to talk about the most recent incident.

"I'm sick and tired of being all over the newspaper and TV, "she said. "I'm done. I'm trying to put all this behind me."

When a reporter said it was the second such incident in her home in less than a year, she replied "At least my kid lived after this dog attack."
