When will parents learn ?
May the little one rest in peace.
Parents can make the silliest of mistakes and it can have horrific results..
please be careful and think...
A two-year-old boy has been mauled to death by a pack of ravenous African wild dogs when he fell off a railing his mother put him on to view the animals at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium.
Desperate rescue attempts by zookeepers and armed police officers could not deter the 11 aggressive beasts as they savagely attacked the child on Sunday morning.
Zookeepers fired darts and a police officer opened fire, killing one of the African painted dogs, an endangered animal, but rescuers still could not reach the boy in time.
Lt. Kevin Kraus of the Pittsburgh police described the accident as 'horrific.'

And tragic. Though what she did was obviously a grave mistake(one that will now haunt and torment her) I refuse to judge the mother with great harshness cos I know, as a mom, that their are times we do things at the spur of the moment, never anticipating any great tragedy. We mom's are human beings after all, prone to making errors and yes sadly some of those errors may result in more harm than we could have ever imagined.
May God grant the baby paradise..Aameen. Truly he is in a better place today than his poor suffering mom. =(
Just saw a news report on it. Apparently the fence around the enclosure is only 4 foot high...There are an awful lot of kids that could easily climb a four foot high wooden fence. I think this zoo is lucky something like this never happened before.
..
i m so lucky to have a stalker
"without thinking of what might happen" mystery solved as she was mentally retarded she cldnt think
BADU that is a comment only you can say....You never think before you post!!!
Many ppl dont think anything will happen to their children if they hold them while driving or leave them without safety seats!!! One Second is all it takes for a mistake to happen that costs a child's life. Does that mean every one is mentally retarded?????????????????????? no, it means they just dont think of the what if's!!! Then to late!!! CRASH
God Bless the child, and the mom will have to live with this one second of bad judgement for the rest of her life!! That's it.
Peace
Tragic!
I found this in the Guardians account:
"In May, some of the dogs escaped into a part of the exhibit that is usually closed. The zoo was on lockdown for about an hour as a precaution."
So it sounds like there were already some issues with this enclosure.
look at the pic's in the news article..there is a 11ft drop behind the fence so the dogs cant jump it,.fence itself is manhigh from the visitors point of view
I think the drop was 11 feet but the visitors stood on a raised platform.
How did the woman manage to put the kid on top of an 11 feet high railing?
Or was the drop 11 feet but visitors stood on a raised platform :-/
God can protect children against stupidity can he??
the fence is there for a reason so is the 11ft drop behind it,..
"without thinking of what might happen" mystery solved as she was mentally retarded she cldnt think
She didn't put him OVER the railing, she sat him on the railing, so he could get a better view. You see people do it all the time, without thinking of what might happen.
omg no britey it might be as well as in peninsula.com
welcome back..
Perhaps this story will be in Doha News next week :O)
lesson for all of us. aside from taking extra care for our child/children let's always ask for God's protection for them.
prayers to the poor baby :'(
I doubt that the mother was "mentally retarded". she made a mistake she will regret for the rest of her life :O(
So sad...
i am sure the mother was mentally retarded
Well yes Brit, some common sense should be applied. However, I seriously don't remember ever seeing an zoo enclosure were you could just "jump in" with dangerous animals....
I hope the zoo isn't now going to be held responsible.
you can take security only so far. this is a tragedy and hopefully, other parents will learn from it..
its really bcoz of negligency
tinkerbell10 : Because she is irresponsible mother. The police should of shot her instead of shooting at the poor dogs.
i doubt careless parents could ever "learn". :(
It was the mother's fault. The wild African dogs were only doing their job.
Just a point though..has anyone actually been to a zoo where you could place a baby on railing above dangerous animals? I don't think I ever have....
the should not be parents in the first place,... news like this "is raising the hairs in my neck" .
like all these morrons of "parents" here in town who drive there kids arround not restraint or in the matter not even sitting in there seats while the use the seatbelts op front,..FINE THEM ALL BIG TIME what happens if you get in a accident,..same result as what happend to the kid in the zoo,.. kid is being slaugterd (smashing the windscreen with his head at least)
Its time to invent some medicine for Stupidity! Did the baby deserve such a tragic death:(
Tragic :(
scary
Jesus Christ. I hope the poor baby was dead when he hit the ground. :(
Really sad and a lesson for all careless parents.
It's good that the closed the Doha Zoo!!
Shouldn't the mother be booked for murder due to negligence
that's so sad. :(
God bless the soul of the little one.
I always make it a point to keep my kids away from any possible harm.
