Raccoon terrorizes family: 'It broke through ceiling'

"He kicked it and then woke up his brother. They were both screaming they were so scared," she said, referring to his younger brother, Jonathan, 5.

"My dad almost touched the raccoon," said Enrique, after he came into the room to see what all the screaming was about. After getting the two boys out they closed the door and called police, who called animal control.

That was when the real destruction took place. Besides the one-foot-by-one-foot hole in the ceiling, the raccoon tried to get out the window and destroyed the window blinds and chewed almost all of the wood on the window frame trying to get out. One wall showed traces of blood where the animal tried to claw its way through the drywall to escape from the room.

"The animal control woman said we had to throw all this stuff out," said Gomez, because of the blood and feces everywhere in the room.
