DARBY BOROUGH, Pa. -- A 1-month-old baby is hospitalized in a Philadelphia suburb after losing up to 25 percent of her face when she was attacked by ferrets inside her home. The incident happened Thursday in the 300 block of Poplar Street in Darby Borough. Authorities say the child, named Skyy Isabelle Fraime, was placed in her car seat and then left on the floor. Skyys mother, Jessica Benales, then went upstairs to use the bathroom. During the time the mother was away, two of the familys three ferrets escaped their cloth-like cage. The girls father, Burnie Fraime, tells sister station WPVI he was asleep upstairs when the tragedy unfolded. When he and Benales came downstairs, the baby was screaming, and they found the ferrets had eaten away 25 percent of her face. Skyy suffered severe injuries to her lips and nose and other parts of her face. I went over to grab the baby, Fraime said. And then the babys, half the face was messed up from the ferret. So I called 911 immediately. The child was rushed to the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia, where she underwent life-saving surgery.
