I recommend the following Youtube video-playlist, which contains 16 videos related to attacks or potential attacks from modern pterosaurs:

I suggest that to understand the potential danger that a few of these flying creatures may pose to children, we need to know something about modern “pterodactyls”, including the long-tailed ropen.
The vast majority of sighting reports of apparent non-extinct pterosaurs show no sign that an attack took place or was imminent. In fact, many of these flying creatures are the general sizes of birds, although ropens are mostly nocturnal. The point is this: The great majority of them do not attack people.
Attack Against Three Fishermen in Pennsylvania
One of the three men left as soon as the attack began, but the other two kept whacking the “pterodactyl” with their fishing rods, as it continuously hovered over them and apparently tried to grab them with its talons. Frank Sicilia estimated the wingspan was 20-22 feet. Fortunately neither man was hurt, for the huge flying creature eventually gave up and left them.
Frank Sicilia was attacked in 1984 while he was fishing at night

The point of that attack against those men is this: If grown men can be attacked by one of these flying creatures, how can children always be safe?
In fact, within the past eighteen months, I have received several reports of attacks or potential attacks against children in the United States, including one case in western Oklahoma.
The eyewitness herself, many years after the attack in Oklahoma, described to me what happened: The huge flying creature was covered in hair and had teeth in its beak. It tried to grab the preschool girl but she dived down to the ground and escaped, then she ran into her house. After the lady reported to me what happened when she was a small child, she told me that she thought that the creature may have been responsible for missing children in that area of the country. I share her concern.

Potential Pterodactyl Attacks Against People
During the past couple of years or so, I have received reports that make it clear that some modern pterosaurs can be dangerous to humans. Here is one report from the past few weeks: “Attack in Florida” . . .

Young Dinosaur Fossils Carbon-14 Dated
It almost looks like the Jurassic World is really upon us, not in a science fiction film but in carbon-14 dating of dinosaur bones that were supposed to be many millions of years old. The fossils sampled turned out to be much younger than most scientists had imagined.

Pterodactyl Sightings and Youtube Videos
. . . I live in South Carolina about 10 min away from Charlotte, North Carolina. When I was a senior in high school in 1993, my friend and I were driving down a dark road, in Fort Mill, S.C. . . .
. . . it was all wooded then, no houses or anything, just trees as far as you could see on both sides of the road . . . A huge black bird was flying ahead. It looked really big, but as it got closer I realized that this thing was massive! . . .

Why Believe in the Ropen or Modern “Pterodactyls”
Why are some skeptics so insistent that somebody must force them to believe in non-extinct pterosaurs before they will believe? The following is part of a comment made under a Youtube video on my channel Protect Animal Life, and it’s from a young man who used to live in Florida . . .

About 3 weeks ago, A friend and I were on my back porch here in Rural Covington, Louisiana when we both saw a huge bird that looked like a Pterodactyl fly over my property . . . It had a long beak with a rear ward protruding crest behind its head, the wings were very bat like . . . I would estimate the wingspan to be approx. 8 to 10 feet . . .

“Pterodactyls Alive in North Carolina” (Youtube video)
On Jan 19th 2019 near downtown Asheville, NC in a neighborhood that borders the blue ridge parkway where I live. I was in my front yard playing with my almost 4 year old children on a clear day. My daughter pointed up to the sky and said, “look dad an airplane . . .”
