I think with any breed you need to be careful around kids. We had a pit bull for years with no issues. We never put her in a position to bite. It's unfair to the dog and humans to put them in an uncompromising situation. Kids played with her all the time but knew the rules and we supervised. Never any issues. The most well behaved dog I've ever had but we also took really good care of her knowing the breed.
To contrast our neighbour had to put down her lab cross recently due to biting a neighborhood kid. It was lawsuit or dog. The owners didn't take care of her and the dog had to pay the price. Really upsetting to me.
It's all about the owner not the breed.
