Feb. 24 -- A mother is blaming snack chips for a squirrel attack on her four-year-old daughter.
The attack at a Mountain View park earlier this week left Debbie Allard's daughter with scratches on her face.
Allard says the animal was eating snack chips out of her purse. The squirrel attacked when the 4-year-old tried to get the bag of chips back.
Allard and her husband called city park officials to complain about the attack.
Mountain View has stepped up patrols and had several squirrels killed after several squirrel attacks in the park since last year.
