I have a friend who works for a lab that processes results for vets on animals. She's told me that pit bulls have a tendency to develop a certain brain tumor. These brain tumors make them snap. A perfectly friendly pit bull could turn deadly because of the tumors.

Totally myth.

I have not ever heard of a pit bull attacking someone without there being some reason behind the attack. The large majority of pit bull who are in the media are ones that haven't been socialized well with humans or ones that have been taught to be mean. A great many of the dogs involved in attacks are not really pit bulls, but some other bully breed that look similar to the pit.
As a breed, Pit bulls are bred to be DOG aggressive not HUMAN aggressive.
I have seen the pit puppy article on a couple forums the past few days and pretty much everyone agrees that the parents had to be high on something. It would take awhile for a pup to chew off a baby's toes, and that baby probably screamed as soon as the pup started chewing. Why didn't the parents hear the baby? 6 wks is too early to take a puppy away from its litter. The dog probably was probably either trying to nurse then when he didn't get any milk, he started to chew, or he thought he was playing with one of his litter mates. Poor puppy and poor kid.
