US Edition'I Can't Comprehend': Officials Share Details After Baby Removed From Home with Raccoons, Dead Goat
- Officials removed an eight-month-old baby and 47 animals from a South Shirley Avenue home in Honea Path, South Carolina, on May 2025 after a welfare check.
- The Department of Social Services requested the welfare check due to concerns over the infant's safety amid known unsanitary and overcrowded living conditions.
- Inside the home, police and animal welfare officials found trash, animal feces, maggots in food bowls, multiple species including raccoons and a dead goat, and overcrowded dogs confined in stacked crates.
- Anderson County PAWS Director Kim Sanders said some dogs scored one out of nine in body condition and “would not have survived much longer,” adding that legal proceedings could follow if animals are not signed over.
- The baby was placed with a family member, the parents faced charges of child abuse and animal cruelty, and officials expect the home to be declared uninhabitable due to hazardous conditions.
