SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The mother of a 12-year-old boy killed in his own home by one of the family's two pit bulls says she had been so concerned about one of the dogs that she shut her son in the basement to protect him. This was a headline on cnn.com

All right now what is the problem here???? Well maybe this wacko should have locked the dog in the basement. People are idiots, this lady was so afraid of this dog that she went to the store and locked her son in the basement. Next why didn't she just take him to the store???? I have had friend that have had pit bulls and know that they are pretty friendly for the most part but boy when they get aggresive they get aggresive. I personally think this boy was probably dead before she even went to the store. I think she just used this as an excuse. You shouldn't be allowed to own a pit bull and have kids SORRY>
