Ericka stated on GoFundMe that her son underwent emergency surgery and lost 70% of his scalp. Justin had a leg wound that could not be stitched and multiple lacerations. Gilstrap reported that Justin also had a fever. According to pictures posted on the fundraising website, Justin has multiple facial lacerations and his body was covered in bruises. A goal of $100,000 was set for his medical expenses, and more than $77,000 had been contributed as of Monday night.

“This has truly been a living nightmare,” Ericka wrote in an update on Sunday. “This morning he woke up and started crying. He was telling us about his bike and his Georgia boots. That’s all replaceable, isn’t it! It was unfortunate! I hope he doesn’t remember any of this.”

“He didn’t ask for this. He was just being a little kid playing outside like all kids do. He should be home right now riding his bike, you know, not sedated in a hospital bed. It just kills me, absolutely.” He kills me. My poor baby,” she told WRDW. Ericka, a single mother of four, revealed that her son would undergo more surgeries to treat his injuries and any resulting infection. “Just keep the prayers coming. We love you all and are completely overwhelmed by the support,” he said.

According to Columbia County deputies, the dogs’ owner, Burt Baker III, had previously been warned about his pets and admitted to investigators that his dogs had a history of chasing cyclists. He was accused of acting recklessly, according to The Augusta Press.

According to WRDW, the owner was arrested after the event, but he has since been released on bail. After being attacked by what Ericka described as pit bulls, his son is expected to be in the hospital for about a month.Read More….
