I have some of this plant in my garden. I’ve read it’s very poisonous. With cats, dogs and children coming and going should I get rid of all of it?

I think its a lovely plant, but the bright berries are tempting for children. But then again hundreds (yes really!) of garden and house plants are toxic to children, better to teach them not to eat stuff they have not been given permission for. If they have never seen it or been told about it they could see it in the countryside and not know it is dangerous. Not good for cats though, not sure about dogs.
