Is it a good idea to have a small child and a pit bull living in the same house?

Asked by trolltoll (2570points) March 28th, 2016

I was just in a discussion about this on reddit, where someone was complaining about a woman who was trying to rehome her pitbull because it had bitten her child. The kid was apparently up in the dog’s face, and the dog had just had surgery, so it wasn’t like the dog was typically aggressive or had a history of biting people. The discussion was about what a piece of shit this woman was for getting rid of her dog.

I tried to point out that maybe the woman was making the right decision, and that maybe a small child and a pit bull shouldn’t live in the same house together, especially in light of the kid being bitten. I got my butthole positively ripped open for expressing this opinion, and for also pointing out that a 9-year-old was mauled to death by her sister’s pit bulls last year, which happened not that far from where I live.

Was I in the wrong to have this opinion?
