It all comes down to the owner, and the people who make bad dog owners tend to like Pits because of their power. imho anyone who wants to have a dog or a child should be tested and licensed, there are a lot of dirtbags in the world. There are a few people right here on this board who breed pits in their backyard and give veiled hints about having been at dogfights.

Animals are animals no matter how domesticated they are or how they've been raised. They have instincts that under certain conditions they'll act on, and no amount of reasoning will stop them. That's one of the distinctions between animals and human animals.
Many owners of dogs that have attacked unprovoked innocent victims once said "my dog doesn't attack", but they were wrong.
I see nothing wrong with dogs but kids should that young should not be around them. While a dog can just as easily attack you or me, our chances of surviving the attack are much better than a 6 year old.
