no dog should attack a child period. if a dog is that aggressive he should be put down
I agree with Jeremy
If the dog is aggressive it needs to be in a kennel inside the yard. I have driven and walked past a yard with sometimes 2 pitbulls that if they could get out they would eat me up. I think keeping dogs of this type in our yards is showing our lack of responsibility not only for the innocent kids but what if these dogs get loose in the neighborhood. If someone runs from them and screams this has the potential to trigger that predator response to over take and catch. The pit doesn't bite as often as other breeds but once it attacks it usually does not stop. One incident here and there will get these good dogs banned.
I have owned pits and own one right now and I make it a point to socialize it with all types of people and also have it around other dogs. If I have one that shows aggression towards people I will cull it.
