Swat team attacks baby with grenade

A SWAT team in Cornelia, Georgia attacked a 19-month old baby with a concussion grenade during a no-knock search.

Just before three a.m. On May 28th, paramilitary police forces invaded a home where Alecia Phonesavanh was staying with her family.

The mother recalls, “Everyone’s sleeping. There’s a loud bang and a bright light. The cops threw that grenade in the door without looking first and it landed right in the playpen and exploded on his pillow right in his face.”

The toddler was horribly disfigured by the vicious attack from police forces. His face and chest were ripped open in the blast.

Sheriff Joey Terrell of Habersham County praised his warriors for their efforts. He also said that given the opportunity, he and his squad would attack the toddler again.

Terrell stated, “Our team went by the book. Given the same scenario, we’ll do the same thing again. I stand behind what our team did.”

The child is currently in the burn ward of a local hospital, undergoing procedures to try to save his life. The toddler is only being given a 50-50 chance of survival. Even if he lives, he will likely be scarred for life from the incident.

The grieving mother said, “It’s my baby. He’s only a baby. He didn’t deserve any of this.” The family has no insurance, and has set up a fund to help raise money to save their child, using gofundme.com.

The SWAT team raided the house searching for drugs.
