Pitbull kills boy, there's a lot of pitbull bashing going on... And I agree with Moggy's assessment. There is something very "off" about the mother.

She locks her son in the basement, and then leaves him alone in the house with two mating pit bulls, when she's scared they might harm her son because of the whole sex thing? He's dead, and it's all "Well, typical, he never listened to me"? She says several times in this article that she "has no regrets"?

I admit, I've never been in this position, but are these normal things to say/do? I can deal with the contradictions - she "never saw any violent tendancies" but she was so scared that she locked her kid up, okay. She needs to justify her choices. But... I don't know, the whole thing creeps me out.

And who trains a dog to lick off their make-up? That doesn't sound good for the dog at all... and ewww, gross.

The only pitbull I knew was sweet, but she would sometimes lash out. She was found, abandoned, and we think she was abused. It was alright, she never attacked anyone dangerously - she just would sometimes react badly when startled or perhaps when something triggered a bad memory, then she'd feel very bad about it. Mainly, she'd just sometimes freak out and scare people. We kept her, but we never let her around children. There's no reason to confiscate a dog unless the owner is being irresponsible. And every adult who was near the dog was able to give informed consent.
