A pet staffy that mauled a newborn to death in a family home will be euthanised.
The five-week-old boy died after he was viciously attacked by the family's American Staffordshire terrier in the early hours of Sunday morning in Kariong, on the NSW Central Coast.
First responders who arrived at about 2.20am were unable to revive the little boy, and he was declared dead on the scene.
The pet, which also mauled a neighbour's dog four weeks earlier, was seized by the council following the brutal attack and will be put down in the coming days.
