I think they mean that the trampoline was walled off and the dogs were outside the trampoline. When I read that he was killed in an enclosed area, I immediately thought of pit bulls because they are documented to break through screen doors, chain link fences etc. to get at their prey. A young, foolish friend of mine tried to provide a home for a stray pit bull and when he tried to put it in a fenced enclosure, it chewed obsessively on the chain link until the wire broke and was sticking through the flesh on its face and yet it still chewed. There are horrific documented stories like this where two pits broke through a locked screen door on a house and killed a baby in front of its grandmother. So whomever put the kid in the “enclosed” trampoline thought it was safe because they failed to account for the pit’s “prey drive” (i.e., how hard it would work to get its prey).
That pit bull/convict rehab program on tv featured a pit bull that was being adopted by a man who liked bike riding. The pit bull rescue owner said that the pit had to be tested to see if a person on a moving bike was too much stimulation which would trigger the pit’s “high prey drive.” That’s a dainty way of saying the pit could attack someone moving past because it would think it was escaping prey. So the kid bouncing may have been thrilling to the dog pack - there were four dogs.
If you watch the news report at the link (not worth it), there’s nothing for the tv crew to film so the reporter places awkward emphasis on a scrap of red crime scene tape (”and there’s more on the other side of the house!”) and what can (not) be seen when they looked in the back yard (”...and yes, dog feces...”).
Yeah my buddys pit bull ate my motorcycle jacket, ripped out every zipper LOL
Never like that dawg
More dogs than kids and unsupervised.
