I have to say I would not rehome this dog.
The chance that she might bite another child in the face is too high. It is difficult if not impossible to totally insulate a dog from any contact with children.
Consider as well that in the event you rehome the dog, EVEN if you make full disclosure and make the new owners sign a waiver and agreement to hold you harmless in the event the dog bites again, you CAN be held liable if the dog bites and injures someone.
If it were my dog it would not have seen the sun go down the day it bit my kid.

That being said, the dog in this case reacted because the child took its treat away - this does NOT sound like an overly aggressive dog, just one who was not properly trained. Euthanizing the dog should be the LAST option that these people try! At least give the dog a chance at living! People who have animals rarely contemplate the effect that having a child will have on the animal. There are plenty of dog trainers and behavioralists out there who can help, if they really want to take the time to work with the dog.
