Charges Filed Against Parents Of Infant Attacked By Ferrets In Delaware County

DARBY, Pa. (CBS) -- According to the Office of the District Attorney, charges have been filed against the parents of a one-month-old baby girl who was severely injured in a ferret attack in Delaware County.

Last week police said a trio of ferrets chewed off the nose, top lip and part of the cheek of the baby's face in Darby, Pa.

The district attorney's office says the parents have been charged with five counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

The baby's father, Burnie Fraime, admits to Eyewitness News that he and his fiancee, Jessica Bernales, left their one-month-old daughter unattended, but he says they shouldn't have criminal charges for the damage his pets caused.
