What a tragic story, I do hope that poor little baby Reuben survives.
Could it have been a tragic accident, Staffordshire Bull Terriers are generally placid dogs in fact they are called 'Nanny dogs' because they are good with children.

I thought it to be a little over the top for the poor parents to be arrested and placed in hand cuffs, what do others think?

/// I have cats, I do not trust dogs ///
Ok, but that's your weakness/phobia not the dogs.

I would not normally bother with such rudeness, or explain myself.
However, just to baldric straight...….
Many years ago walking home from work I was attacked by a huge alsation. I was on the other side of the road when the dog, owned by a security guard , was on the lead held by his young daughter.
The beast broke free, leapt across the road, teeth barred and growling, leapt at me grabbed my arm and shook me to the ground.
Went to hospital to treat puncture wounds, injections etc. I did get a new coat and jacket out of it.
Perhaps an apology baldric for your incorrect insults.

"Dog aggression is very common in adult Staffords. If they think another dog is challenging them, they will not hesitate to engage. Socializing your puppy to understand canine manners can help, but it's best to keep your Stafford on a leash at all times, and at home his yard should be fenced. "
Oh and the ancestral blood line with the pit bull .
It's like someone driving around an disused tank saying "Oh, it's a softy really". OK mate but it's still a tank with a mahoosive gun on the end.
I get they're not really statistics but to deny hereditary or to completely rule it out is naive.

As do humans, I think you will find there are more of them that attack children, so should we keep them away from them? //
I think your comparison is nonsense, and I think you know it is nonsense, so let's not waste time discussing it, shall we.

It is not nonsense at all, even though you yourself may think so, doesn't necessarily make it so.
If you don't wish to waste your time discussing it, then that is your prerogative, but please don't try and stop others from doing so if they so wish.

Go on any free ad site and there are hundreds of staffie pups being sold by chavs. These pups by large will end up in rescue centres. Unlicensed breeding of any dogs should be banned with hefty fines and financial incentives given to have pet dogs spayed and neutered. I don't like the 'look' of staffies but I've been bitten twice by dogs -a collie and a Yorkshire Terrier so all dogs have the capacity to attack.
