A one-month-old baby has had her nose and part of her lip and cheek chewed off by three pet ferrets. The newborn was "being eaten alive" by the animals after they got out from a cage.

The child was hurt while she was left downstairs in her car seat as her mother went upstairs and her father was asleep. The ferrets ran away when the woman came down after hearing the baby's screams, Police Chief Robert Smythe said. Four other young children have been placed with relatives because their parents are not looking after them well.

Mr Smythe told the Delaware County Daily Times: "The parents, I believe, have problems. They can't take care of these kids." They found more food for the family's ferrets and cats than for the children. Mr Smythe said: "Just imagine that one-month-old baby, that can't help herself, (and) two or three animals are eating it alive. Imagine the pain."

A healthy, a well-trained ferret should not bite, according to the American Ferret Association. It says that ferrets and kids can play well together but that small children should not be left alone with them or any other animal.
