Not a parent but i've taken kids to the zoo and other places and it's a different experience to going without kids. Cannot fathom losing track, no, even losing sight of a four year old, more so as he gets closer to a barrier.
This from cnn btw.
O'Connor left before the shooting. When asked if the the barrier could be easily penetrated by a child, she said it would take some effort.
"Unfortunately, it was a bad situation where a 4-year-old didn't have the attention of his mother for seconds," she said. "I don't think it was as easy as standing up and falling in. He actually had to climb under something, through some bushes and then into the moat."
If there's a lot of mob culture, there's also a lot of SJW silliness nowadays. If wacko jacko style dangling is the only thing you wouldn't excuse then you haven't been a parent either/or at the least, haven't taken a kid to a zoo. 😛
