More so than the Zoo?  Sometimes even good parents lose track of their kid.

This. It sounds more like the Zoo effed up.

Look up the legal term "attractive nuisance".

Jesus. Almost 40% here would've said the very very real risk of the kid dying wasn't worth it.

It's probably for the best that many here don't/won't have kids of their own, but c'mon now.
