It appears that the parents were not home: <http://www.examiner.net/features/x536826501/Grain-Valley-couple-arrested-charged-in-ferret-attack-on-child> The ferret's stomach contained blood but they do NOT say that they included any fingers or parts of fingers, so I have to wonder if the ferret was simply trying to lick the wounds clean. The swing had been removed which makes me wonder if the fingers were lost to the swing.
