She got down into the dogs face. My vet tells me this is the reason small children are bitten so often. The dog feels threatened and it bites. Small children are right down on the dogs level, this woman did the same thing.

Yes, most people don't know how to properly approach a dog, making eye contact and going to pet it and getting in it's face are all signs of aggression if you don't know the dog. These actions will get you a growl or a bite from many dogs, not just pit bulls.

Children should be taught to fear all dogs at a very young age. That way when they grow up, they won't be dumb enough to ask, "how much is that doggie in the window".
