Every time we see horrifying stories like that of 3-year-old Kaylie Foster, whose face was viciously attacked by a Pit Bull recently, the dogs come under fire. Some say it's irresponsible to allow the breed to be anywhere near children, while others will tell you they're some of the kindest, most loving dogs IF they're properly trained.
No matter which side of the fence you normally fall on, I think the majority of us can agree that a Pit Bull being raised by Jenelle Evans of Teen Mom fame isn't a dog that should be around anyone, much less her son Jace. And good for the boy's grandmother, Barbara Evans, who supposedly put her foot down and is refusing for the boy to be around Janelle's dog, Brody the Pit Bull.
Jenelle, of course, isn't happy about the situation.
On Facebook she wrote:
I feel like I gave my son up for adoption and everytime I ask to pick him up u say no?!. This time it's becuz I own a pitbull puppy? I f***ing can't STAND u.
Sounds like reason enough to me. The court has already ruled that she's not fit to take care of her child, so how are we supposed to believe a dog would be much different -- especially a dog who can be so potentially dangerous? But of course, true to her style, she looks to blame everyone but herself. Just yesterday she was ranting about people not keeping her plethora of court dates straight, which she doesn't even seem to be able to do herself.
The fact is she has shown a huge amount of irresponsibility and a lack of maturity. It's not a big stretch to assume that she wouldn't be the most conscientious dog owner either, and that's when many believe Pit Bulls get dangerous -- when they're not cared for properly and not disciplined correctly. When she shows so little self discipline, how are we supposed to believe she'd able to properly discipline a dog? It's just too risky to allow a toddler to be around the dog, and I don't blame her mom a bit.
Do you think Barbara is right to keep Jenelle from seeing Jace because of her Pit Bull?

I don't watch the show but it sounds like a lot of immaturity going on, there. The Grandmother probably knows what she is doing.
I love Pit bull dogs they are very loving creatures it's people that make them mean and aggressive . I had a pit bull around my grand daughter and she was great with her until she passed away (the dog) i now have a miniature Yorkie that snaps at my granddaughter all the time . This said i wouldn't care if the girl had cats she doesn't need her son at all she's not a very good person much less a mom ...... I was a teenage mom i was 15 when i got pregnant with my daughter she is now 30 with her own kids .....when you have a child at a young age you need to realize your life as far as parting and acting like a regular teen is over you have to grow up and take care of that child ......now that i am a grandmother at the age of 45 i now can do what i want and go to parties and hang out with my friends as long as i want and go on campouts and ride our bike till we need to stop and rest ......you raise your kids first then you enjoy the parting after they are grown
this is how you have to be when your a mom at any age
It is a fact of veterinary science that no breed has any more tendency toward aggression than another. The only differences between breeds are physical traits; there is no gene for aggression. I do have a negative opinion of the girl having a dog, considering her irresponsibility, but it has nothing to do with the breed. As for the idea that pitbulls attack more frequently than other breeds, there is no actual data to support it, but there ARE more news reports on pitbull attacks than on any others. As for the data that I referenced above, you'll find that many reports refer to either a 'pitbull-type' dog (which can be anything that remotely looks like a pitbull), or a dog that is claimed to be a pitbull but is an entirely different breed (my local news ran a report on a dog that was tazed by a police officer for approaching him, and the dog was repeatedly called a pit bull when it was actually a white boxer). I defend pitbulls because I have done my research, instead of believing inaccurate and biased hype.
