my wife was attacked by a rott.
one of my friends was attacked by a german shepherd.
don’t know anyone personally that’s ever had a problem with a pit bull- more likely rotts or german shepherds.
we’ve got a number of pitbulls in my neighborhood, and my daughter can walk up to any one of them and pet them. its the black lab across the street that scares me.

When your daughter gets shredded by one of those gentle dogs you let her pet, then I'd say the fault is yours for not teaching her better than to stay away from them. Any breed of dog that has a tendency to turn even on its own owners like pits do, is not safe to have around.
