You need to take your eyes off a young kid for a fair bit longer for them to manage to climb into a gorilla enclosure than you do for a split second croc attack :S

Hm, they didn't exactly let the child climb into the dangerous enclosure. Sure the mum looked away for a few seconds- minutes, who knows what she was doing-replying to a message? Checking she had enough money for the rest of the day? Who knows, plenty of parents look away for a bit and children get away many times. We should also point out that the father wasn't even there but he got dragged too, they brought up his criminal history like it mattered. If they're going to be criticised for that negligent mistake so should these parents-especially them because I live in UK and even I know there are alligators around that area. How the **** did they not? If you're going to take your child near water at night at least do proper research. From what i've seen before areas with alligators don't always have signs. So yeah, their negligence was fatal. They should also get scrutiny.


They're putting up signs now though so good thing came out of this tragedy.

Honestly I don't think either set of parents should get scrutiny, more especially these parents as their baby is dead, they're never going to get over that. Thankfully the parents involved in the Gorilla incident still have their baby alive. Maybe calling for parents to get scrutinized isn't the way to go. Either incident could have happened to anyone imo.
