Screaming Baby Found Strapped to Fence by Her Neck with a Bungee Cord in Spokane, Mother Claims It Was an “Accident”

Here’s something horrifying we thankfully don’t see every day.

A man was mowing his lawn in Spokane, Washington when he heard screaming coming from across the street.

What he found was a small toddler strapped to a metal fence by her neck with a bungee cord.

He promptly called the cops, who have already been called to the residence three other times after finding this poor baby crawling around the streets unattended.

The mother claimed the kid accidentally got her neck wound up in the bungee cord on the fence, but no explanation was given as to why she was even outside by herself like that to begin with.

KHQ reported:

Matt Knight lives in the Nevada Lidgerwood neighborhood. He was mowing his lawn Wednesday night when he heard screams across the street.

“I walked over there and the kid, like the photo you saw, was strapped or caught up in some of the bungee strap to the fence,” said Knight.

Knight called Spokane Police, but he also wanted to take a picture.

“Just because of the previous things that had happened there (the house). So I just wanted some photo evidence versus a bunch of hearsay,” said Knight.

Apparently the mother called up KHQ to give her side of the story:

A woman who says she is this child’s mother called KHQ after the story aired to give her side of the story.

Before hanging up the phone, she claimed that the picture actually shows the child getting tangled up in the cords. She refused to clarify why the toddler was out of the house alone and she also refused to go on camera with us.

You know how when your unattended baby just accidentally gets tied by the neck to the metal fence at your house and is left there to scream for however long it takes until neighbors find her… all on accident?

Darn. Hate it when that happens.
