Maybe laws should be passed making it illegal to allow pit bulls in households with children.

You lose me after the more laws should be passed post...I must've been distracted by:
Baby attacking pit bull! Or...Pit bull mauled by kitten!
Or the dozens of other "vicious" pit bulls, rotterweilers, and german shepherds rolling around in the floor with kids, playing with baby ducks, and taking naps with kittens. Those of you attacking the animals, they didn't turn that way overnight. Go after the thugs who abuse the dogs and turn them into monsters. They're the ones who cause these tragedies, and the ones who should be held responsible.
When I have kids, I'll much prefer having a 100+ canine following them around all day, spending 99% of its time as a big teddy bear but smart enough to drag them away from the road and loyal enough to put themselves between the kid and any criminal.
Anyone having any experience with dogs from good, loving homes has seen the way a dog wants to make its owners happy. They'll do anything to protect "their" humans. They also recognize kids as different, and treat them with a whole new level of protection.

Maybe we need less laws and teach people common sense. You really want more laws? really? really????
Idiots do idiotic things regardless of what is legal or not. That is what makes them idiots.

Its time to get rid of this breed once and for all. But soon the pitbull defenders will be on this thread claiming these dogs are just sweet lovable babies and that poodles actually bite more people than pits.

The biggest problem with breed specific ordinances is that it’s difficult to say what a pit bull is. We think we know what a pit looks like, but bulldogs, boxers and other such breeds are often identified as pit bulls (and not all animal control personel know the difference). And what about a pit/lab mix? Is that a pit bull?
This is a very sad story. what were the parents thinking?

Or maybe Granny should be armed and know how to shoot, whether there are dogs around or not.
Not to disparage the LEOs, but they’re perforce minutes away when seconds count.
