RAMAH, N.M. (KRQE) - The parents of an 8-year-old boy believed to have been mauled to death by a pack of dogs on the Navajo Nation now face tribal charges related to the safety of their other kids.
    
The attack happened last month in Pinehill.
    
The Navajo police chief says the parents were drunk the night the boy was found face down dead in the snow.
    
The parents now face a hearing in tribal court on charges of child endangerment. Their three other kids have been placed with the tribe's social services department.
    
Autopsy results on the boy are expected later this month.
