I thought this had happened before with a different outcome:

The parent to kid ratio was one frazzled mother, her 3 yrs old son and FOUR other kids. She's a daycare teacher. I think a 3 or 4 yo would know better than to run off and climb a fence. I was afraid of my mother! Even at that age. If my sister or I left her side on a outside trip, we'd get a public spanking.
It happened years ago in England, and the boy cracked his skull and broke an arm from the fall, but the dominant silver back stood guard over him and wouldn't let the juveniles drag him around and kill him.Actually, it may have been the dominant female gorilla. I think it was. And she even kept the silver back away. Then when the paramedics got there, he shooed all the gorillas into their nighttime gated shelter. The boy is grown now and I saw it on a show about hero animals. That zoo had to raise their fence too!

The prosecutor thought about filing charges on the mother, yesterday they announced no charges. He said she turned her head for just a moment and the kid was gone. Then he said, that's just what 3 and 4 year olds do. And said if you've ever had kids you know. They scamper off.
But ALL kids are not that misbehaved. And people are donating money to the fsmily, but they won't take it. They said, send all the money to the zoo, so they can put up a higher fence. And they did.
