Mia was attacked by a pit bull dog as she watched TV in the family's apartment.
This dog was named Niko and weighed 130 pounds. The dog and another pit bull which did not participate in the attack belong to the boyfriend of Mia's mother.
The mother, Megan Touchet, was able to pull the girl away from the dog and barricaded herself and the child in a bedroom. She had to hand the child out of the window to waiting paramedics.
Mia suffered severe facial, head and body injuries. She was bitten to death.
The Police had to fire over 10 shots into the dog to kill it. The scene of the attack was

| I'm a pit bull. Can I be part of your family? |
The mother was hospitalized with moderate injuries.
The second pit bull dog in the apartment was taken to a local animal shelter.
Mia would have turned 5 on April 3rd.
On the advice of their attorneys, the mother and the boyfriend, Kerry Dominique, have stopped talking to the media and the police about the incident. The biological father of Mia, Chris DeRouen, has pleaded with people to stop talking about pit bulls.
No......We have to talk about pit bulls.
Pit bulls are vicious and unpredictable dogs. They were bred 200 years ago for bull baiting, bear baiting and dog fighting. They were never intended to be family pets. They have proven that they can kill people both young and old. Many towns and cities do not allow pit bulls and related breeds within their jurisdictions.
Where are the legislators in Louisiana and in Houma? Wake up.
Why did this apartment building's management allow two pit bulls to be kept on the premises? Is this building a residence for people or is it a kennel for dogs?
Death by dog is not acceptable in a civilized country.
Mia is survived by many loving well-wishers, who will forever mourn her.
Pray for all who die by misadventure. They are with us one moment and gone the next.
We know that Mia is playing in the fields of Heaven.
