Awwwww, poor kid. The time to act with emotion was at the scene. Now you have to act like an adult. Baseball bats, bare hands and shotguns will leave more ugly memories that will hang in your mental attic for years. Good Gawd, what is with some of you guys? Yik....I cringe just thinking about some of those suggestions. But then, I am just a dumb gurl

Either shell out the money for a vet, take it to the shelter with a note that says "Child Biter", or take it on the walk in the forest. But you really cannot give this dog away. If it ever mauls another child, you'll have yourself to blame. If I took such a dog and it attacked my son, or someone elses child, I'd look to you to blame ( that's human nature, to blame someone else, you know? ).
Give your son a big hug. He's going to need a bunch of them for awhile.
