There is no "perhaps" about it. A child should never be left alone
with any dog until they are able to respect the boundries of the
animal, and even then, it depends on the animal. In *most* cases I
would not leave a child alone with a dog, if the child is under the age
of about 10-12.
As the child grows, as soon
as possible it's probably safest to ensure that the
dog understands that the child is dominant over the
dog.
That's old-school ideology about dominance and submission. Domestic
dogs behave quite differently - dominance and submission are
situation-dependant.
