WAB, although very rare there are documented instances in the past 10 years of Coyotes attacking children (no fatalities) - one was in Middletown NJ 7-10 years ago, others a toddler recently in California and there is video of that one. But I certainly wouldn’t let that affect where or how my children play, any neighborhood Dog could do the same thing….and often do.I am aware of one instance of coyotes killing a human. It occurred in Cape Breton a few years back. A pack of coyotes killed a woman out jogging. The maritimes is an oddity when it comes to coyotes. For whatever reason they’re huge, some going 60 to 80 pounds. I remember when the first coyotes showed up there in the ‘80’s. I shot one and could not believe the size of it. I’ve never heard a good explanation for this as this is not the case in other parts of Canada that I know of.
