A couple whose infant son's face was chewed by rats pleaded guilt yesterday to child neglect.

Prosecutor Charles Smith recommended probation for Frank and Liz Taylor, who are scheduled for sentencing Oct.23.

The Taylor's 6-week-old son, Timothy, was attacked by rats on April 4 while he slept in his family's run-down mobile home, which was described by police as uninhabitable, with no electricity or running water.
