The dog attacked a child unprovoked. The only solution is euthanasia at this point, unfortunately. There is no way to guarantee the dog will never be around children, and it clearly sees children as prey.
It should be legally required for all pit bulls to be sterilized. End the breed!
Watched the video and read the article. No proof this was a pit bull.
Setting aside the breed of the dog… this dog should be put down immediately. If the owners of the dog where good owners (clearly not) they would have put it down immediately after the incident without hesitation.

Ban PitBulls

Dog bite severity varies by the breed of dog, and studies have found that pit bull–type dogs have both a high rate of reported bites and a high rate of severe injuries, compared to other non–pit bull–type dogs.
Pit bull–type dogs are extensively used in the United States for dogfighting, a practice that has continued despite being outlawed. Several nations and jurisdictions restrict the ownership of pit bull–type dogs through breed-specific legislation.
Rules:
-
Keep it civil.
-
No advocating for violence.
-
The sole goal for this comm is to ban pit bulls from every jurisdiction and to treat the remaining ones with respect while every caretaker follows the required safety precautions to keep everyone safe. Dog breeds with documented health issues should also be stopped from being forcibly bred into this world.
-
No pit bull advocate gaslighting. Though good faith debates are allowed.
