[I still care]

As far as I can see it -

a) where I live, 3 year olds wandering around unsupervised get HRS called. It could have easily have been a car as a dog. It sure wouldn't have taken me two hours to call 911. Heck most abducted kids are dead by then.

b)I don't blame a dog chained in it's own yard. But any owner of any large and potentially dangerous animal is stupid if they don't have access to that animal fairly well restricted. I have a German Shephard - have a 6 foot fence with a lock. And it only goes out when I am home, and keeping an eye and ear open. I don't need any bitten kids.

Anyone with a pit bull on a chain in their back yard for hours is begging for a lawsuit - and lets face it, 3 year olds, while slippery, wouldn't be able to get into a well protected yard.

In any case, the lawyers will smell blood with this one.

From my above post:

"Neighbors said animal control has been called to the neighborhood before."

It could have easily have been a car as a dog.

Or a kidnapped child.

Can't leave a child alone. Period.

I would blame the owners. Anyone stupid enough to have a dog this dangerous --- that would kill a 3 year old child --- which any dog with a brain would know is no threat --- then they need to be locked up for manslaughter.
