It doesn't matter if she's a bad parent overall or not. She wasn't a good enough parent to prevent this from happening
you can see the water though without knowing it's that far down thru the bushes, at least to a 4 year old. a 4 year old is not going to comprehend that once he gets thru those bushes he's falling 15ft to the water.
i am not saying that all 4yos would try to get in there, but i am pretty certain most would not understand that there is a drop off 15ft into the moat after you walk thru the bushes. if you are a 4yo please lmk.
No. Not at all. A 4 y/o can get themselves into some shit in the blink of an eye. People want to jump to other conclusions and say she was taking a selfie, well, what if she was just taking a picture of the gorillas? Are you suggesting that you shouldn't even take a picture at the zoo? The kid is a little shit for getting himself into this situation, but without knowing what the mother was actually doing, it is simply wrong to call her negligent.
I take pictures of my kid at the zoo...because I need to watch him...because he's 4. If the kid is a little shit, like YOU say...you know who knows that waaaaaaaay better than you? The fucking mom. Which means she should have been EXTRA closely watching him.
Yours at the zoo to watch your kid have a good time. You aren't there to watch the animals or whatever the Fuck you think parents do. You have to be a complete Fuck up to walk up to that thing and not think it looks pretty weak at which point you grab the kid and don't let go till you mov3 along. Its shitty parenting.
I think most, if not all, parents have lost track of their kid for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or some short period of time. It happens, albeit very very rarely, I mean considering the number of minutes I am with my kids and do not lose track of exactly where they are vs. the 30 seconds I once lost my daughter in the mall, it's like .0000001% of the time. it's still 30 seconds of pure fear. kids see something shiny and run off, they hide, etc. I can't fault the mother too much, but at the same time, it's ultimately her responsibility to make sure her kid isn't dragged around by a fucking gorilla. To say it's not unique is not to absolve her of responsibility. And the "barrier" the zoo had in place is laughable. a 4 year old broke through it, so there is no way anyone can say it was adequate. barriers to things like gorillas and alligators and elephants should be secure enough that anyone TRYING to get in cant. It's that simple.
The fact that millions of visitors a year (including I'm sure hundreds of thousands of kids) visit this zoo and none have ever fallen into the gorilla enclosure, I'd say their barrier was pretty good.
Is that a character from your computer games? I highly doubt your dick has ever been wet and I know eho is a liberal pussy that doesn't know how to take of himself without the government's help, so parenting is a foreign idea to you two twats
It is but if I didn't want to do that I wouldn't have become a father. I can't believe we are arguing that having your kid go into a gorilla enclosure doesn't make you neglectful.
I'm not saying the parents are blameless. I am saying that every single parent in the world has taken their eye off of a child in a public setting, so I'm not willing to crush these parents before I hear all of the facts. I really didn't think it would be a hot take to say that it is possible that a good parent could screw up and have something like this happen.
She could be a great parent but a fuck up that can get your child killed by a gorilla is a monumental fuck up. In this instance she was negligent why does it matter that she is a great parent besides this instance. It's like saying he is usually a great driver he only killed someone when he drove drunk.
Hey dumb fuck, that is why everyone is telling you that in a situation like that you automatically watch your kid. Hey it's a gorilla enclosure and thisittle fucker said he wants to get in there and he is a wild ass. That's a lot different then losing your kid at whole foods or whatever faggot place you shop.
It's from Kindergarten Cop/Terminator mash up by James Cameron's lesser known brother, Jake Cameron. Duh, Farva.
I signed that petition. I'm a person. I like that ape more than you. You're a person. Checkmate atheists.
IMO the entire hullabloo is people externalizing their inner struggle to admit they'd rather have seen the kid die than the ape.
It took 38 years for a kid to get into the gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo But yeah guys its the Zoo's fault for having such a shitty fence. Definitely not the shitty parenting.
I trust my 4-year-old as far as I can throw him. Probably less, because if I grabbed an ankle and a wrist and threw discus style I could maybe clear the moat.
I'd much rather a fucking gorilla die than a small child. But good job trying to offer such a scorching take.
Absolutely. That cell phone video would have been awesome. You ever seen a gorilla tear a child apart limb from limb on the internet, because I haven't and I've seen some shit.
So its true that the kid told the mom that he was going into the enclosure and the mom did nothing? And people still are defending the mom? Wat
Why? The collective benefit one captive gorilla can bring to this planet vs one misbehaved child with an inattentive parent are pretty obvious.
There are articles stating the kid said something to the effect of "I'm going in there" in reference to the moat and people heard him say it before he went in. This combined with 100's of millions of visitors a year with no others falling into gorilla enclosures leads to me believe this is shitty parenting
Please, by all means, explain to me the benefit that this gorilla COULD have brought to this planet. Then when you're done, I'll offer benefits that an actual person COULD bring to this planet... regardless of "misbehaving" at the age of 4. You're really trying here, kid. I bet you can cook a whole case of soy burgers for your atheist friends, just from the heat of your takes. Please dump... if Darwinism was that selective, you would have died years ago. Instead, you're still derping around, mooching off your mom, and not having sex with girls.
Lost in all this is that gorillas are anti-Semitic so I don't really feel bad for the gorilla. He should get with the times.
Family of the boy made a statement today. "Our child has had a checkup by his doctor and is still doing well. We continue to praise God for His grace and mercy, and to be thankful to the Cincinnati Zoo for their actions taken to protect our child. We are also very appreciative for the expressions of concern and support that have been sent to us. Some have offered money to the family, which we do not want and will not accept. If anyone wishes to make a gift, we recommend a donation to the Cincinnati Zoo in Harambe's name." Read more: http://700wlw.iheart.com/articles/l...-the-killing-of-14765137/?Dgsdg#ixzz4AMakKljf
