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.

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!
