I think there has been more accidents involving adults rather than children. I have two young children and they are wonderful with our 12 week old puppies. We started with a bunny so they could learn to be gentle...and I thank god the breeder allowed me to have our puppies because they have a VERY loving and SAFE home. I think you miss out when you are judgemental. I know there are children out there that are to rough for any animal...but if you take the time you would discover that immediately...instead of just writing the family off because the have kids. Plenty of people on this site have children and dismissing them as a bad placement for a furbaby is simply sad.
