2-year-old mauled to death by dogs at day care

Adrianna Jones chose the daycare for her son based on glowing recommendations and assurances of safety.

She believed her little boy was in good hands. But while she was at work, something horrific happened that would change everything.

Her “intuition” made her leave work

A mother in Georgia is heartbroken after her 2-year-old son, Kaimir Jones, was killed by two Rottweilers while under the care of an unlicensed home daycare.

Authorities say the horrifying incident unfolded on October 4, when 48-year-old Stacy Wheeler Cobb, who was operating the unlicensed daycare, fell asleep, leaving Kaimir unattended for more than two hours.

During that time, investigators believe the toddler somehow managed to leave the home and open a kennel where two Rottweilers were kept. Tragically, the dogs attacked and killed him before Cobb discovered what had happened.

First responders who arrived at the scene discovered that the child had already passed away. What makes this tragedy even more heartbreaking is how Kaimir’s mother, Adrianna, learned of what happened. She wrote on GoFundMe:

“This situation took place hours before I even knew about it. The only reason I know something happened is because the owner usually communicates throughout the day and she hadn’t responded in about 3 hours. My intuition as a mother said get off work early and see what’s going on. I got off early and pulled up to 8 polices at the home daycare’s location. They were already inside taking pictures and so forth. This was a heartbreaking, devastating and traumatizing scene that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”

Pleading for justice

Cobb is now in custody, facing multiple felony charges, including second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to children.

“This is a horrible and tragic event that should have never occurred, but because of negligence on this offender’s behalf, a mother has tragically lost a child,” said Chief Leslie Manahan, at Valdosta Police Department.

“I want to express our department’s deepest sympathy to the family.”

Kaimir Jones was the sole child at Cobb’s home when the tragedy occurred, though police noted that typically, the house cares for around 10 children on a normal day.

Lowndes County Jail

Kaimir’s mother, Adrianna Jones, is now pleading for justice and for her son to be remembered.

”My baby needs justice,” the single mother said tearfully in an interview with WLAB. ”Please promise me to keep my baby’s name alive. He deserves it.”

Valdosta Police Chief Leslie Manahan confirmed the investigation is ongoing, with key questions still unanswered — such as how the toddler was able to access and open the kennel.

Over $25,000 has been raised

Family members are demanding accountability, not only for Kaimir, but for other children who might be placed in the care of unlicensed caregivers.

”No family should ever have to feel this kind of pain,” Kaimir’s grandfather said. ”We trusted someone to protect him, not put him in harm’s way.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up by Adrianna Jones to honor Kaimir’s memory and help the family during this devastating time. Over $25,000 has already been raised as of now.

”Unfortunately, I did not have any life insurance for my 2 year old son, so I am asking the community for help with raising funds for his memorial funeral. Anything will help and anything is appreciated. Thank you,” Adrianna writes.

Imagine dropping your two-year-old off at a home daycare you thought was safe, only to never see him alive again. Rest in peace, Kaimir. Sending all my love and strength to your family.
