I do feel for the parents on that one, but your kids are both 2 years old or less so saying you haven't had incident for the past 8 years is kind of a mute point when animals have only been introduced to that environment for a quarter of that time.
She's not going to tell you if they mistreated the dogs, if they were abusive in any way to set off these animals, because that would make either of them liable in their childrens deaths. There are no bad dogs, but there are breeds that are extreme and take extra care and training to make sure these types of situations don't occur. People are generally absorbed into their own lives and don't provide that extra care or training on a consistent, if at all, basis. Everything in the pounds is a pit bull mix nowadays it seems, you go on Pet Finder that's pretty much all you see is some form of pit mix, so the lack of control over breeding is a concern if the breed is an extreme breed like malinois, akita, doberman, rottweiler, etc.
