Really pisses me off that a parent quoted in the story is blaming the school for not having a fence, calling it negligent. GTFO with that crap.

I was thinking the same. What would that parent have said if there was already an ordinary chain link fence installed... because an athletic dog like that has never been known to jump one of those before. "Negligent... They should have had a prison wall put up with guard towers."

But dogs can't jump fences, everyone knows that. /s

Ah yes, let’s also build a fence around the school bus stop, and all along the sidewalk that the kid walks to get home. Or maybe the dogs only attack playgrounds and would never attack a kid walking alone on a sidewalk?

Parents love to shit on public schools.

There should be a fence for many reasons. Dogs, human predators, to keep kids securely in the playground. Our schools have many special needs kiddos and not enough staff to properly watch them. A lot of these kids can take off running with no notice. That playground borders a fairly busy street which is just asking for trouble.

The owners of the dogs have the majority of the fault, but there’s no reason, other than negligence, for the school to not have a fence around the playground.

What if the dogs had attacked in front of the school when kids were waiting in the bus line? Should there be a fence and a gate at the driveway to keep everything out? Better yet, let's build all schools with a moat and drawbridge. One way in, one way out. 10 foot concrete walls with armed guards posted at each corner so nothing gets in.
