I agree,a dog is a dog. The mother should be jailed,what the hell is the matter with these people?

The mother is a first rate idiot. But I don't see how spending 40k a year to throw her in jail will make her any less of an idiot. The guilt of what she did to her kid is worse than anything the state can inflict on her anyway.

In the broader picture, large dogs bred for aggression and fighting may have their place in the world. But that place is not around kids. If pitbull owners don't going to have the common sense to realize that, and they don't, it is going to have to be imposed on them by the nanny state. Either through a heavy handed outright ban, or a mess of career bureaucrats and licensing red tape. A real lose-lose if you ask me.
