Well, with the kid in high school that had been bit. Their pit was also raised inside the home and in a good, caring environment. Grace and Aaron talked so highly of their beloved pet. She talked about her pit as many of us talk about our yorkies. Aaron felt the same way. I warned Aaron one day, you better be careful because one day, she's gonna turn on you. It wasn't even a couple of days later and he came to school with his hand all bandaged up. I asked him what happened and he said that I jinxed him and their pit bit him. I asked him what was he doing to her to get bit and he said that he was just petting her.
Nothing anyone can say will make me change my mind about these types of dogs.
My in-law's next door neighbor has a Rott named Axle. We've played with Axle and been around him many times. For the most part, he is a very sweet natured dog raised in a loving home. Axle was out late last year and while my 4 year old son was walking to the trampoline (in my in-law's yard), Axle spotted him and started creeping up on him. Teeth bared and growling. My father in law shot him with a bb gun to get him to back off and Axle did and went home. On another occasion, when my son was 3, we went next door to see their exotic birds. There is a white picket fence that blocks off the patio and birds from the yard that Axle played in. Now mind you, I am standing right there next to my son admiring the birds. I turn my head just in time to see Axle miss my son's face by 2 inches. If Trent would have stood any closer to that fence, he would have had to have years of reconstructive surgery.
