flag Parents sentenced for 2022 fatal dog attack on their 3-year-old son due to negligence.

flag Joanne Bedford and Mark Twigg were sentenced in October 2025 to prison for the 2022 fatal dog attack on their three-year-old son, Daniel Twigg, at a farm in Rochdale. flag The boy died after being attacked by untrained guard dogs, including a Cane Corso and American Bulldog, while unsupervised in a fenced yard. flag Despite prior warnings from the RSPCA and visible danger signs, the parents failed to secure the area or supervise the child. flag The court found them guilty under the Dangerous Dogs Act, citing neglect and failure to prevent foreseeable harm. flag Bedford received a three-year-six-month sentence, Twigg two years-eight months, and both were banned from owning dogs for 15 years. flag The case has raised concerns about child safety, pet ownership responsibilities, and enforcement of animal control laws.
