Attempted murder of a 3 year old

[Mups]

I just saw on the news tea time, that a  man has been arrested for attempted murder to do with a little 3 yr old boy who was found in the Crocodile enclosure at a Zoo near Huntingdon today.  
  
It didn't say whether the lad was pushed, thrown, or what,  but he was seriously injured and was rushed off to  Addenbrook's hospital.   The man and the boy were not known to each other so they say.

Here is more about it:

The zoo's FB page saying the man had a carer with him, so looks like it wasn't a choirboy from Wales.

A  carer?   Was he mentally ill I wonder,  hence a carer?

The poor little boy he was mauled .
This is a dreadful incident reminiscent of the poor little boy who was thrown  off the Tate ?

I thought so too Muddy.

This is the results of care in the community .
Most of the 'carers'  are unqualified people .
There is a definite case for Mental Asylums 
Some people need to be kept separate for the safety of society .

I too recall the six year old boy thrown from the balcony at the Tate ..

Now a 3year old thrown to the crocodiles..
It doesn't seem to be safe anywhere.. Parents need to be very aware of their surroundings.. and
need to keep their children at their side at all times..
This is very sad.. young children need to run free ... But only in the park or play area.. Even then they need to be under constant supervision..
I don't think the blame can be put on any one person. Many parents drop their guard at some point..
I always had a wrist to wrist band with lead that was connected to my child when needed..

A little girl came up to me in a big store and told me she had lost her mummy.. She took my hand and I assured her that we would find mummy.. However.. I did put my arm in the air and told people around that i had a little girl who was looking for her mummy and I headed for the staff information..
Just to make sure that people knew that I wasn't up to no good..

Dreadful! Poor little chap. The result of Thatcher's care in the community.

Thatcher left office nearly 40 years ago.

Thatcher left office nearly 40 years ago.

 And being so popular people still mention her..
  She is just someone to blame.. Anyone other than those who have been running the country 
for the last few years..

  'Lessons have been learned' will be the normal response.. Even though no lessons were learned from the French child being thrown over the balcony at the Tate..

You can fool all of the people some of the time ,and some of the people  all the time, but you cannot
fool all of the people all of the time'

[muddy]

They have bailed the man who threw the child to the crocodiles .
Are they mad he should be locked up somewhere .
Clearly he is a danger to society .

[klondike]

Let's hope they don't have to learn yet another lesson. Absolutely ridiculous decision that suggests there will be no custodial sentence either.

HE was 3 years old!
WHERE IN GOD'S NAME WERE THE PARENTS???

[muddy]

Maybe they were not expecting their child to be seized  by a lunatic in the zoo.
Things can happen horribly quickly .

[Ruthio]

Muddy he was only 3!
At that age weren't your kids either holding your hand or on reins?
Not all the time, but at a zoo with wild animals?
