Over the years millions of toddlers had safely visited that gorilla compound with their parents. The enclosure had to be idiot proof since none of the millions of children visitors in the past had ever "slipped through". BTW, this kid did not "slip through" - he scaled the fence and jumped into the gorilla pit.
The parents' behavior could merit a Darwin Award.
The zoo could hold the parents liable for the costs the zoo incurred due to their parental negligence.
