[G;UNSHOTS]
WE WILL HAVE BEEN EXCLUSIVE IN
JUST A MOMENT.
RIGHT NOW WE BEGIN WITH A
10-YEAR-OLD GIRL BIT BY A PET
MONKEY.
KEVIN: THIS IS
ALL HAPPENING IN
DEXTER ABOUT 30 MILES WEST OF
DES MOINES.
KIM ST. ONGE JOINS US NOW TO
LOOK AT HOW IT HAPPENED.
KIM: THE MONKEY LIVES IN A CAGE
IN THE HOME'S GARAGE BUT IT
BROKE THROUGH A WILD -- BROKE
THROUGH A WIRED PORTION OF THE
CAGE AFTER PROVOKED.
STITCHES MARK COREY NEIGHBOR'S
MONKEY NAMED CHARLIE BIT HER
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
HE SEEMED NICE BUT WHEN HE
GOT MAD HE ATTACKED.
KIM: SHE WAS HANGING OUT WITH
THE HOMEOWNERS KIDS WHEN THEY
STARTED BANGING ON THE CAGE.
HE GOT MAD AND BROKE OUT OF
THE CAGE AND CAME BEHIND ME AND
GET ME.
-- BIT ME.
KIM: ALONG WITH EIGHT STITCHES,
KYLIE ALSO GOT A TECH A SHOT.
THE OWNER WASN'T HOME WHEN IT
HAPPENED AND DIDN'T WANT TO GO
ON CAMERA BUT SAYS SHE WAS
TRESPASSING AND DIDN'T LEAVE
WHEN SHE WAS ASKED.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT
.
AT THE SAME TIME, A CHILD IS
MORE IMPORTANT THAN A MONKEY.
KIM: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
CHARLIE HAS BEEN IN TROUBLE.
IN 2012 HE SCRATCHED A GIRL ON
HER HAND BUT DID NOT BREAK THE
SKIN.
KYLIE'S MOM SAYS SHE IS THANKFUL
HER DAUGHTER WAS TURNED.
SHE IS VERY RESILIENT.
IT TAKES MORE THAN A LITTLE
BITES TO STOP KYLIE.
KIM: SHE SAYS THE MONKEYS OWNERS
ACTED APPROPRIATELY AND GOT
KYLIE HELP IMMEDIATELY.
NO WORD YET ON WHAT IS HAPPENING
