A four week old baby in London, England, is now recovering in a hospital after a fox dragged him from his cradle. British police are investigating the home.Reports say one of the boy’s fingers was bitten off and had to be re-attached by surgeons.
In response to the attack, London’s mayor, Boris Johnson, said more must be done to tackle the problem of urban foxes. In 2010 baby twins were also mauled by a fox as they slept in their cradles at home in East London.
What are your thoughts? How does this even happen?

How is it possible to let a fox in your house? You would have to be completely oblivious to the fact that a fox is dragging your child away
That is weird that is the first time i have ever heard of a fox attacking a human. Hope the baby recovers from it, How did the fox eve get in to the home in the first place.
This is absolutely horrible! out of all things, a fox?! poor babies. those twins too. I'm glad that they could attach the baby's finger, and i suppose if this had to happen its a good thing it did while the child is too young to remember.. this is really sad still. I never realized foxes were such a problem, though!
I don't understand how the fox got into the house. Maybe it crawled through the basement. That poor baby. I hope the fox problem is being taken care of.
Another example on how we should have guns because animal attacks can still happen and self defense should be top priority.
How does a fox get in your home in the first place? That is just werid. If this has happened before they should put traps around their houses or something to keeo kids safe.
Were they sleeping outside? How would a fox enter your home? Crazy story but i guess something needs to happen if it has happened a few times!
How would a fox get into the home? I think it's a good idea that police are investigating the home. I agree that something should be done about all the foxes if this has happened before.
How do the foxes even get in the house, for god sakes get ADT or something
This is awful. That baby and it's parents are so lucky it survived but they seem so irresponsible! How did the fox get in and if a fox could get in i'm sure a person could to so they put that baby in so much danger by not securing their house! anything could have happened to it!
