IMHO you have to take the totality of the situation.

IMO it is a mistake the will serve you badly to overgeneralize anything whether it be race or breed. I think in the right environment any breed of dog can be harmful and the same could be said for a man.

I would be more likely to blame the owner and parent for not making sure the children were in a safe environment.

The argument can be made saying accidents happen. And while that is true to some extent. A lot of things can be done to minimize risk. In this case I can think of a pretty big list. Training for the dog's, owners, and kids. a secure and restricted area for both kids and dogs.

Just IMHO
