PARENTS are responsible for the safety of their children.

108. Unless you are there, have video, or have other...

Personal evidence, then your beliefs about what actually happened prior to video starting are no more or less accurate than the MANY witnesses who have said that the mother was actively searching for her son at the time he entered the enclosure.

I hate zoos. I think they're cruel, higher primate exhibits especially. I am saddened that an animal not too different from a human was killed because a human child did as human children do, and human adults are ONLY human -- we may have a little more brain mass but we aren't perfect.

But if you want to talk about things that weren't accidents:

Someone, either the poor child's biological father who had already lost a son (he was totally not at fault there so wasn't brought up in the media much) or his new girlfriend brutally beat two-year-old Malik Drummond to death -- autopsy shows that the boy had a skull fracture and a rib fracture, too. His father has admitted to burying the boy's body (though not deep enough), then reported him missing. Strangely, despite the girlfriend going to the police a year later first and putting total blame on the boy's biological father (though not claiming he'd ever hit her, just his own kids) the dad was recently allowed to plead "no contest" to reduced charges and a 40-year sentence with possibility of parole. The girlfriend still hasn't been charged with more than hindering prosecution, but her story isn't fully supported by evidence, and since he wasn't forced to allocute (confess to the crimes under oath) he's poised to testify against her should evidence actually implicate her.

But even if her story to cops was true, she sat there and did nothing while her boyfriend gave a two year old two severe beatings in the same night, and said that pictures from his missing persons fliers showed bruises from a pattern of ongoing abuse. Two people are responsible for the death of that child. (It's worth noting that after Leslie could only get him to make statements indicating he knew Malik was dead and that "she didn't have anything to worry about", and the police impounding his brother's truck that he'd used to dispose of the body, he turned himself in with no lawyer and led them to his son's then-scattered remains.)

I could go on.
