[quote=Anonymous]I would speak, casually, to the other parents. If they are similarly cavalier, well, this is a not-my-circus-not-my-monkeys situation. If they are concerned but afraid of speaking up, or have spoken up and been shut down, you volunteer to back them up. Make it clear you agree with them, that this is not safe for the children, and you'll do whatever would help them. Bring it up with your mom together? As a parent, my answer would be "the dog is locked away in a crate or another room for the entire visit or we're not coming" but as a non-parent, all you can do is help the parents however they wish. Alternatively - you could call animal control and report past bites. I'm not sure exactly what that could trigger, but having the pattern could be helpful if he bites someone more seriously and they're injured. You might be able to have the dog forcefully euthanized at that point. [/quote]
