I almost feel sorry for the boy's mother. But frankly, this could have been avoided.
We had an overly aggressive Lab Retriever and we put him down after he nipped/bit too many times. Maybe breed doesn't matter, I have met plenty of sweet pit bulls.
I agree with restrictive laws for aggressive dogs in cities. Oftentimes the victims in these cases are not people familiar to the dog, but passerby who are "invading" the dog's space. Children are also perceived as a threat to dogs because they are closer in size to dogs and therefore "rivals", whereas adults are obviously dominant-appearing from their height.
