A baby had its face eaten off after a cuddle with his grandmother went tragically wrong.
Onlookers reported that baby Archie was enjoying time with his grandmother, Barbara Ringer, when the retired principal suddenly devoured the two-month-old’s face.
Police investigating the incident believe that the warning signs were there.
Archie’s distraught mother, Kira, told Babbler, “Looking back, she had made threats. She said things like, ‘Look at those thighs, I just want to squeeze them!’ Once, we heard her say to Archie, ‘You’re so cute, I could eat you!’ We never thought she would actually do it.”
Detective Prasad said, “Likely, she was overcome by Archie’s chubby cheeks and smooth milky skin, and something in her brain snapped. Once she was in her animal brain she became like a sabre-tooth tiger.”
The doting grandmother has five other grandchildren. This is her first known incident of cannibalism.
Detective Prasad alleges such incidences are common, “The chubbier the child, the greater the risk is that a grandmother may ‘gobble them right up.’ If your child also has dimples, we suggest parents remain diligent around grandmothers and aunts.”
Barbara is in custody and is awaiting sentencing.
