San Fransico tragedy/Pitbull discussion

My head is still shaking after reading the latest update from the San Francisco Gate concerning the 12 year old boy who was killed by his dogs.

There are plenty of GOL (gasp out loud) quotes from the boys mother.

Hours before being mauled to death by the family pit bull, 12-year-old Nicholas Faibish had been told to stay in the basement separated from the dogs, said his distraught mother, Maureen Faibish
"I put him down there, with a shovel on the door,'' said Faibish, who had left the boy alone with the dogs on June 3 to run some errands. "He had a bunch of food. And I told him, 'Stay down there until I come back.' Typical Nicky, he wouldn't listen to me.''

I find this the scariest part and believe it will be the fuel to further pitbull bans:

Ella and Rex II were "family dogs," Faibish said. They spent most of their time inside the house, slept in bed with the children every night and woke Maureen Faibish up every morning by licking her face. Ella was trained to lick her makeup off and kiss her ear.
"He's the most loving and giving dog in the world,'' she insisted. "There were no violent tendencies in him at all.''
"Oh, they should keep their pit bulls,'' Faibish said. "Even though my son has been killed in a tragic accident, I don't think they should be banned. "
"It's Nicky's time to go," she said. "When you're born you're destined to go and this was his time."
