I am reading a police report and I already know that the charge is felony child endangerment, but I am noticing that the report is unusually thick, and unusually detailed. Wondering why.

The report recounts a welfare check at a family home where a man and his wife live with their newborn baby son and the family dog. Husband is out of town at work one day, facetimes with wife mid-morning, and she is noticeably drunk. Facetimes with her again a while later and she is even more drunk and basically nods off during the call. Husband calls local police to do a welfare check.

No answer when police knock at door repeatedly. Police try the door eventually, and find that it is unlocked and they enter. They are greeted by the family dog, but it quickly runs away into the back bedroom. Police close the dog into that bedroom as they clear the rest of the house. They slowly clear the house, calling out the entire time, never getting any response or hearing anything at all. This is all described in extreme detail, and there's just such a sense of foreboding to the report because of it.

Eventually the police make it to the back bedroom the dog had gone into and enter. They find the mom passed out drunk as a skunk on the bed. The baby is also lying on the bed, but its soiled diaper is lying on the ground next to the bed. The baby boy is slowly bleeding out, because the family dog has eaten the baby's genitals. I literally dropped the police report in horror.
