Now that I’ve seen the height I would have to jump from and the terrain below, and seen how those dogs behave in the videos posted, I can say for certain I’d be jumping in to save someone else’s kid. By the time help arrived I’d be unmarked holding the child.[/quote]
I thought the same thing, if you can get the kid back on the netting you can very easily move to the part where the platform is easily scalable (by the fence ) and get yourself back to safety.
Like i said before, i refuse to believe that the dogs ripped him apart as soon as he hit the ground. There had to have been 30s to a few minutes before any dog did any real damage. More than enough time to get in there and do something to at the very least delay the attack best case scenario rescue the kid.[/quote]
I think the dogs went right for him. The zoo keepers throw carcasses to the dogs that are about the same size as a small child. Those dogs just thought it was chow time and went right for him. But obviously I do think quick action from a single adult would have saved him.

Some of the comments against the mom I’ve read on some of the blog sites are fucking awful and ridiculous.

Could you guys find it in your hearts as husbands to forgive her if it was your wife?
I really don’t know if I could. Initially I would be there for her. When she cries I can’t help but be loving and supportive. We would mourn together. But long term, the pain would be so deep and that fact that she dropped our child into the dog pit would be right there. I think if it was our only child I couldn’t get past it and we would end in divorce. If we had more than one child, hopefully I could fake it.

The fact that she didn’t go in after him would make it impossible for me to forgive her.
I think she deserves blame, as i am somewhat of a fussy grandma when it comes to safety. I mean I hate people that text and drive. I mean I hate them a lot.
What the boy went through before dying is a true nightmare some to life. To fall like that and then to die in that way

No I couldn’t. I agree with Nards; she fucking lifted him up on the rail. Obviously she didn’t want to hurt him, but it’s still partially her fault. Same as someone who leaves their child in a hot car.

Wasn’t aware that the farther was in the picture 'til I skimmed that article, and my first thought (aside from how horrible this whole thing is) was “they’re not gonna make it”. There’s just too much negative energy and emotion attached for them to work through this. Even if he’s the most well adjusted dude on the planet, I just don’t see it working in the end.
I see a lot of really really bad driving here in Taiwan and I’ll find some videos later and post a couple and if you watch them you’ll see a lot of stuff where you just want to scream at your monitor “What the fuck were you thinking?!?”
That’s the sort of stuff that boils my blood…when people completely fuck up their risk to benefit calculations.
I mean with this boy and the wild dogs…it reminds me of a few years ago in a zoo in China when people could have their photo taken next to a tiger, and one time the tiger attacked and killed a 6 year-old girl. In both cases you have to think: What am I gaining? A picture of my kid with a tiger? Orin the case here…my 2 year-old gets a bit of a closer look of an animal that’s not really high on any kid;s list of cool animals anyway? And what do I risk?
Get a load of this shit…there was a little kid on one of the scooters too.
Notice there’s an ambulance that even goes by! I see about 10 ambulances a day (HOLY SHIT YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME I JUST HEARD AN AMBULANCE GO BY AS I TYPED THIS!) and I’ll wager 80% are responding to traffic accidents. Strike that, 95%.

Dude, the average person on the street would be dead inside of 12 hours if left all alone in the middle of a jungle.
Society is so far removed from nature at this point, a simple world wide black out for over 2 months would kill half the population.
It doesn’t surprise me that some people feel so ridiculously safe that the thought of being hurt by “nature” doesn’t even cross their minds even when staring right at it’s sharp teeth.

True. Common sense isn’t common.

I’ve despised that term since I was 6. It should be called old sense at this point or just plain sense even.

Given that she did not intentionally mean to harm our son, yes, I think I could forgive her. Remember, SHE lost a child too, and has the worst kind of guilt imaginable. Losing me on top of that would be losing an important support system, and of course I’d be losing 2 loved ones as well if I left her. Why punish her twice?
I’m a very forgiving person, if the other acknowledges their mistake and repents for it.
And I remember my vows “For better or for worse”.
