On Thursday, the pack of dogs reportedly attacked the children while they were waiting at a bus stop behind Brooks County Middle School. They were taken to the hospital after the alleged attacks.

Courtney Williams, the 35-year-old mother of two, was found dead in the yard of a nearby residence, which the GBI is currently investigating.

‘It was determined the juveniles had already been transported to a local hospital by a private citizen.

‘Deputies subsequently located the body of Courtney Williams, white female, 35 years of age, in the yard of the residence.’

The breed of the dog remains unclear. 

A neighbor, who remained anonymous, told WALB that her heart goes out to the family as the mother’s death occurred just days before Mother’s Day.

‘I do feel for the family and for the kids because now they are going to have to celebrate Mother’s Day without their mother,’ she said.

Neighborhood residents have been voicing their concerns about the lack of animal control in their area.

‘People dump dogs all over the county and no one can get help with them because there’s no county animal control. Praying for this woman’s family. This is so sad,’ one resident said.

The case is currently under investigation by the GBI, who is in the process of conducting on autopsy on Williams to determine an official cause of death.

‘With a heavy heart I have to say this,’ she began the post. ‘My brothers wife Courtney Williams cox passed away yesterday. The neighbors dogs attacked her and the kids.  

‘Her son, Kayden, didn’t get away fast enough as he pushed his sister out of harms way. He was hurt pretty bad [but is] doing good. 

‘They stapled him up. [He’s] in pain and at my house resting. We are asking if you’re not immediate family, please limit calls and messages.’

In a follow up Facebook post on Friday, Cox updated the community on the children’s health and exactly how the events unfurled. She mentioned three children were involved.

According to the post, Kayden’s sister, who she referred to as ‘sissy,’ and his brother Nathan are shaken, but are processing the traumatic event that ensued.

Nathan managed to flag down a man, who helped save them. Kayden pushed his sister out of harms way, and by doing so he saved her but took on the dogs himself.

The man helped fight the dogs off and managed to get the kids in his truck and took them to the hospital.
