The St Ann police are warning members of the public against the purchasing of certain breeds of dogs, such as pit bulls, as pets.
The warning follows the death of a two-year-old boy in Cardiff Hall in the parish last Monday.
The child, Maximillian Guscott, who was an American citizen, was attacked and mauled to death by about six dogs, said to include bullmastiffs.
The child, who was vacationing in Jamaica, was reportedly at home with teenage relatives when the incident happened. His mother, who was hospitalised in the aftermath of the incident, was released last Tuesday.
Deputy Superintendent of police Michael Young said the investigation has been stalled as the police are not able to question the children without an adult being present.
He said the mother is not yet in a position to facilitate that.
