Craig- I agree with you.  I am quite concerned for this child.  Not being a
doctor, I don't know for sure, but I am under the impression that the rabies
series can not be administered to a child under a certain age.  Hopefully
the child will be alright though.  In the long run, provided the child does
not suffer from rabies, hepatitus, etc. from this attack, he is likely
better off being out of that house and away from those people who are in
verbage only parents.
