I'll join the unpopular parade in saying that in my opinion, if you have a child, I think you should euthanize Bamm. Of course, that's easy for me to say, and I understand much harder for you to do! And I agree with others that you should probably consider meds and work with him and a behaviorist now, and see if that makes an improvement. Because whatever happens, you're going to want to know that you tried your best.
If he was just unfriendly to kids, I'd be more comfortable saying that it was worth seeing if he'd deal better with his own kid. The fact that he already has a bite history is what makes me hesitant. I just feel that this makes too much of a risk with a child. Kids are so hard to predict, and the chances of disaster are so high.
BTW, this is from the point of view of someone who doesn't particularly like kids, and I'm glad I don't have any. But a child's safety is still more important to me than a dog.
