Love dogs. Love pit bulls. I would never have such a powerful breed around my children unsupervised. If a child pulls the tail of a cocker spaniel he's gonna get bit. Maybe a couple stitches in the hand. Same scenario with a pit bull and your looking at permanent damage, disfigurement and in some cases death. I know that although it's sensationalized in the news, it's still not very likely to happen. However, I'll never put my children in harms way even if it's a 0.0000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000001 chance. That's just me.
