Do BP's pose ANY conceivable danger AT ALL to small children?

I know this hasn't been asked, but there is also this "spin".

Have you considered the danger TO your Ball Python by the 5 and 7 year old children of your boyfriend?

Actually, to me, that would be far more worrisome

Its really not that hard to lay down some ground rules. Teach the kids to respect the snake and leave it alone unless supervised.
If handled, wash hands before and after.

Then it literally becomes a non-issue.
