i'm not trying to say it was the boy's fault for running, but I think parents should teach their kids to avoid running from strange dogs, as there is probably a natural tendency in many dogs to give chase, whether they are trained to do so or otherwise. I think it also helps to have a dog in the family where kids can develop trust in, and a natural love for dogs in general.

I can sympathize with the police, who have put many man hours of expensive training into this animal, to have to put it down for one mistake. Perhaps a little extra training may reduce the risk of this ever happening and the animal could go on and have a very successful career.

I believe the family should be adequately compensated for their physical and psychological trauma and grief, and if there is negligence, the handler should be reprimanded.
