Kids are fast. Unless one can show the mother was negligent, there should no charges.
Yes, the Zoo should improve the barrier. Yes they had no choice to shoot the gorilla. But YES, the damn mother was at fault for not watching her child. If she couldn’t manage four kids she shouldn’t have brought them alone. Maybe if she lost a 100 pounds or so she would be able to move a little faster. Her kid could have died from the fall or the gorilla, and we lost a valuable endangered species. I thought this was a conservative website? Too many excuses are made for idiots like her who don’t want to face the consequences of their negligence. If her kid grabbed a loaded gun, would you be making excuses for her?
