Pit bulls were bred as fighting dogs. When they do attack, they do so without warning, and do not have the "turn off" mechanisms that most dogs have.

This is not to say all pit bulls are bad. It is, of course, possible to raise a very well behaved pit bull, as it is possible to raise a vicious Golden Retriever (though I can't imagine that!)

However, should a parent take that risk, not ever really being sure what is in the bloodline? Or, even let any dog unattended around a baby that young?

Also, I can't imagine that 4 toes were totally gone before the baby cried at all. Parents can't hear a newborn fussing? Don't most parents say every noise, when the baby is so small, raises an instinctive parental alarm?

We don't have all the story, but I would say the parents were negligent.
