Toddler at Pittsburgh Zoo Killed in Painted Dog Exhibit

A 2-year-old was killed when he fell into an exhibit of endangered African dogs.

I wouldn't trust a 2yr old around a coffee table with sharp edges, unattended, let alone balancing on a rail.

"To get a better view."
Why not just hold him on your waist like a normal parent?

[jrawsadam]

"Experts say he didn't stand a chance..." Really, you needed an expert to tell you that?

[MarinkaSea]

I heard the mother sued and ended up getting a settlement 🤦🏻‍♀️ she should’ve served time in prison for negligent manslaughter!

[BrandonCiCi]

Just curious, how come this mother didn’t get charged for the boys death, but the grandfather who did the same thing with his grand daughter on a cruise ship was charged for her death?

Who the hell thinks a toddler can balance on railings

[kanyesmemeemporium]

“Experts say he didn’t stand a chance” yeah I’m no expert but I would assume that two year olds aren’t often able to fight off 11 African painted dogs.

The mother is 100% at fault for having the toddler over the edge that far. She needs to be charged and convicted no matter how remorseful she may look

[kittenmittens]

They serially blamed the netting and the zoo?! Obviously the mom should be charged

[icturner]

“What a horror for that mom”?! That mom IS the horror!

[SweetePixxluv]

The horror of watching your son mauled by dogs is unimaginable…however…allowing a toddler to stand on a railing above an exhibit of wild dogs is absolutely irresponsible and clearly child endangerment.

This woman caused an innocent child and an innocent animal to be killed. Horrific. She will forever have to live with the guilt of killing her child and that is what she deserves. This is not a freak accident. This is negligence.

[idragonz]

I mean she didn't even hold him and the railing is round WTF!

[KimballGlaspie]

The TODDLER did not lose balance, the mother put him up there, in danger. SHE let the child fall to his horrific, painful death! The media wants to soften the story with that whole "death on impact, didn't suffer" angle, but witnesses heard the child screaming. The zoo is zero percent responsible I can't believe she sued!

[mikemichaels]

Once again animals suffer due to human stupidity.

[HisShadow]

"It lasted five minutes" Jesus Christ that must have been the worst pain imaginable. Being slowly eaten alive.

[sadaderlangga]

Mother : *literally killed her own child*
Also Mother : *Blames the zoo*

[davidg]

Title should be: "Mom feeds toddler to wild dogs"

[zoeys]

Arrest the mother for neglect, can’t keep letting parents off with a slap on wrist when they act recklessly and put their child’s life in danger and cause their child’s death!

"Experts say he didn't stand a chance "
Doesn't take a expert to know the toddler wouldnt stand a chance in that fall against a pack of wild dogs 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
