Well of course it was the child's fault, couldn't be the owner of the dogs fault for keeping them in a yard that was not secure against escape. /sarc
Yes of course...And you could also consider poor breed choice as the casual factor.
It would be interesting to know if the owner had insurance to cover the vicitm's medical bills.
Here's another recent incident. Apparently the woman triggered the Pit Bull's Bull Baiting genetics by going over and looking at a pet they had just shredded.

TEXAS CITY — A woman attacked by two pit bulls was back home Wednesday, two days after the dogs mauled her at her home.
However, the dogs will not be coming home. Animal-control officers euthanized the dogs after their owner surrendered custody of the animals.
Rhonda Trujillo-Lambert, 48, was in her home in the 2300 block of 37th Avenue North on Monday afternoon when she heard dogs barking. When she opened her garage door, she saw two pit bulls standing over the remains of a cat in a grassy patch about 50 yards away.
The dogs trotted away, but Trujillo-Lambert’s husband said they turned around as she checked on the cat.
“When she looked up, they were walking away, but then they turned around and charged her,” Kevin Lambert said. “She hadn’t done anything to provoke them, didn’t shout at them or threaten them in any way.”
Trujillo-Lambert backed up toward her house, but the dogs reached her and began to maul her.
