Yeah, they are negligent because there is nobody else to blame, but they are barely negligent at all. It was a friggin puppy. Who thinks a puppy is going to eat a kid when they are right there next to the kid?
The pit bull was a puppy, so it wasn't trained yet. Which means it hadn't been trained to be mean, the way many pit bulls are. It was just a puppy.
This is really an accident more than anything, on the same level as accidentally slamming a car door on a kid's fingers.
I'd think differently of them if they were drug users/dealers who were passed out and under the influence, but there's none of that here. They probably had a sleepless night taking care of their crying kid, and they fell into a nap with their baby at an arm's length away. Parents do that all the time. They probably figured their mere presence would make things OK.
Unless there is more to this story, the DA prosecuting them is an ass.
