A Texas mother is behind bars following a desperate 911 call from her 11-year-old son, who accused her of setting their family dogs on fire, according to Too Fab.
Officers from the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office responded to Veronica Loredo’s home after her son reported that “his mother believed he was the devil and was currently burning the family dogs.” While deputies were on their way to the house, they received an additional call from a neighbor, who reported that a woman “just arrived at their residence with blood on her hands and advising her parents have been killed.”
The sheriff’s office has not confirmed any fatalities. However, officers did discover the remains of dogs in a fire burning in Loredo’s front yard, along with Loredo and four children, aged 1 to 11, inside a vehicle when they arrived at the scene.
“Loredo had rolled the passenger side window and was screaming ‘Help, help, help me someone is trying to kill me,’” reads a probable cause affidavit, obtained by PEOPLE. According to the docs Loredo, 32, was also “sweating profusely and had abnormally fast breathing” and “did admit to killing their dogs in front of her children.”
Her son informed authorities that his mother had locked them all inside the vehicle before setting their pets on fire. Loredo was arrested and faces two felony charges for cruelty to non-livestock animals, along with four counts of child endangerment. She is currently being held on a $400,000 bond, and Child Protective Services is reportedly looking into the incident as well.
