Either way, for people going "oh, my snake is going to eat the baby', 20 children are killed by dogs every year. A constrictor snake related death is about 5 every couple years. (emphasis on coupe years) And that's usually due to incorrect caging like using a weight to lock a screen top. All of these deaths are preventable with correct caging and security.
I've lost count of the amount of times I've read in the paper or seen on the television/news:

"A dog has attacked a young child leaving him/her with ## stitches and a traumatic hospital visit"
