A 19-month-old boy critically injured when a police device was tossed into his bed has a 50 percent chance of surviving, his parents said today. But a northeast Georgia sheriff defends the officers’ actions, calling it a tragic accident.

Thometheva was not at the home at the time of the raid but was later arrested at another house on a felony drug charge of distribution of meth.
Officers had no indication that any children were inside the Lakeview Heights home when they returned around 3 a.m. Wednesday, Terrell said, and approached the same door where drugs had been purchased.

But this time, the device landed in the playpen where a toddler was sleeping. Little Bounkham “Bou Bou” Phonesavanhs and his family, including parents and three older sisters, were all asleep in the room while visiting from Wisconsin. Only the little boy was injured.
“It blew open his face and his chest,” the boy’s mother, Alecia Phonesavanh, told The AJC outside Grady Memorial Hospital. “Everybody was asleep. It’s not like anyone was trying to fight

That is a terrible story
I hope the boy comes out ok
Parents should be charged with bringing the baby into a dopehouse

Why? they didn't know relative was selling.

Thometheva, 30, of Cornelia, wasn’t a stranger to them, police say. Terrell said that during a prior arrest on drug charges, investigators discovered Thometheva had weapons, including an AK-47.
“That’s the threat he uses to those who don’t do what he wants,” Terrell said.
yeah...ok

I didn't see where that was the case
I saw where the father said they aren't involved in his drugs
But I'm sure they knew
If by chance they had no idea that their family member was a dope dealer with prior arrests on drug and weapons charges then I'll say, "terrible story. I hope the boy comes out ok. It is a shame what happened to him. Terrible accident."

Sad

If they are close enough family to move in with the guy, then I don't believe that they had zero previous knowledge of his involvement with drugs

It's at a point where the officers measures taken are killing the population they are here to protect, when in most cases those measures aren't needed.
While officers are in danger daily, they are also putting civilians into even worse positions.
It's just sad and makes me wonder if the measures they are employing are worth it.
I don't think so.

Did you read the article? They were raiding the house of a known meth dealer with previous drug and weapons arrests, including an AK-47

What would you say if that guy had shot up the wrong house on accident and killed a toddler? It's just a sad set of events that resulted in the family putting their child in a dangerous situation

I never understood why they can't just follow these guys and arrest them at the gas station or something.

Yeah. Cops fault, not the drug dealers.

Really? So unless I'm daft I don't think weapon arrests mean violence again police does it?
Because someone is making frick you money doing illegal activities doesn't mean they are going to end their life in a shootout with police. That's quite the leap
Because of that type of leap mixed with poor judgement by the child's parents (not a crime) the child may or may not die and is certainly in a bad way. That's not serving and protecting.

And have a potential shootout in a public place?

How would the guys entering the house know this information?
So, in your opinion, what should the police have done instead? Walk up and knock on the door?

Yeah, let's potentially drop flashbangs in 3 year olds playpen instead.

Potential option.
Pick a more opportune scenario to capture the perp. (Whom wasn't at home at the time)
Research their target better (Entering a home that they didn't know children were in)
Enter in the same methodology they chose without using dangerous equipment needlessly.
So you keep saying this guy was going to shoot up everyone. So after his house was hit, his family was injured, this guy was still taken into custody without incident at a later time. Odd....

They wouldn't, but being a police officer is an inherently dangerous job. I imagine nowhere in their creed is to put other people at risk to minimize that to themselves.
