In cases like this, I, unfortunately, believe the animal must be put down for the good of public health and safety. On the other had, I believe the park (or preserve or whatever) should be able to sue the hell out of the family and they should ban them for life.
Since they use the word child, I'll assume the kid is pretty young, 11 or less. As such, the parents are retarded for not watching their kid and deserve the full wrath of the courts on them, for both child negligence and tresspassing and whatever else that can be applied.
