You can always expect that to happen when animals and humans are together.

You can ALWAYS expect human death when animals and humans are together? I sure hope not - if so, I'm in a lot of trouble 
My gut feeling is that this is one of those cases of why children should always be supervised closely around animals. I still feel bad for the parents if this is the case, very tough way to learn a lesson.

I wonder how long it will take the press to change "Rottwieler" to "A dozen rabid infected Pit Bulls"
It's a really sad story though. VERY tough lesson

People need to have control over there dogs. It seems that more and more people are getting dogs and have no idea on how to handle them. People shouldn't have animals that they can't control.

Sad to hear, poor kid. But up here i know it all to well. Over the past 4 years about 3 toddlers have been killed in surrounding areas by dogs, cases where adult supervision was needed. IMHO some parents need to watch their kids around animals more closely. I NEVER leave my neices or nephews unattended with my dogs, and one dog is the biggest suck i have ever seen, that just doesnt mean that he wont do anything.

I feel so bad for these parents. Nothing could be worse than losing a child, and losing a child to a preventable accident must be even worse. I definitely agree with Ryan. Children and pets must be supervised. It really does not matter what species of animal, supervision is key. So many people forget that even trusted pets need to be watched with children. Just as we cannot accurately and completely predict human behaviour, neither can we completely predict animal behaviour. Toss people and animals together and there is definitely no guaranteed outcome.
As for breed banning, this is one of the most ridiculous ways I have ever heard of for trying to reduce dog attacks. The town we live by has recently created a breed specific ban on numerous breeds. I am appalled by the stupidity of people sometimes. The reality is that the research is very clear that breed banning does not work yet governments still try to make it fix the problem. There is no research to support that any particular breeds are more likely to bite than others. In Canada it is even more difficult to prove which breeds are more prone to biting, as there are no laws currently in place for mandatory reporting of dog bites. Some of the literature seems to indicate that the breeds most apt to have the highest number of bites are the breeds there are the most of in Canada. This makes sense. I would expect that there would be more bites caused by breeds that there are more of—increased probabilities of exposure.
My personal belief is that there is no room in society for a vicious animal. That stated each animal has the right to be presumed innocent until proven to be vicious. Banning specific breeds does not work for many reasons that I will not bore anyone with. One of the biggest reasons however is because the people who are drawn to a vicious pet are attracted to the viciousness, not the other qualities of the animal. When this animal is banned they will simply move on to something else with the temperament they like--vicious. Meanwhile the people who love the breed for the other characteristics are left to clean up the reputation that has been besmirched. It is all very frustrating and the animal attacks just keep coming because the politicians would rather try wide spread bans than deal with the people who perpetuate the trouble.

After reading more articles, I see that the dogs got out from their containment, and I don't think the kid was left to play with the dogs.

...the dogs were in the basement. Could've been neglected---it all sounds fishy to me. Wouldn't the adults have heard the attack? I feel sorry for the child.
Here's another story for you:
