This woman is in need of some serious help. Her dog is her lover and whips a 3 year old? I hope there are some close family member who can step in and give these two children a loving home while mom goes to jail to pay for her crimes.
I believe some one should take mom out back and use the whip on here to train her to take care of her sons correctly. This is something that should never have happened from the get go. Get the kids to a family who will care for them.
