Stop Mommy Shaming over the Gorilla Incident

[avebury]

76. Would you take the same stance if it was a daycare

taking children to the zoo and a similar incident occured and your child was the one that ended up in the moat?

That story is equally likely givein the fact that the woman involved also works for a daycare.

This is not Momma shaming. This is adult shaming. Adults are supposed to look after children. This woman failed to do so even after the child made it over abundently clear what he intended to do. If you are in a building and the fire alarm goes off you leave the building. If you hear a tornado siren, you take cover. If it is storming outside you don't go in a pool (or lake). If you see a wild animal in your yard, you don't go outside. If a 3 year old child keeps harping about going into the gorilla enclosure you cannot assume that he won't do it. He is 3 years old. Kids that age don't know any better - an adult should. There are times that you need to rely on common sense. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
