The child did not just slip and fall through a hole in the fence. He had been badgering his parents to "go swimming with the gorillas". He climbed over the fence and jumped. Having been repeatedly forewarned of his likely intention, they should have been watching him closely. Duh!
To me the irony is that the mother is employed as a day care worker. I, for one, am relieved she does not work where my grandchildren go.
