RIP HARAMBE :(

The doctor who killed that lion in an illegal hunt was pretty disturbing too and I don't think he even got as much backlash as this woman is getting.

I read a blurb on FB from someone who knows the mom in this case. She says she is a responsible person, she was talking on the phone at the time, but had her little boy's hand in her pocket....and he was gone in a second.......i will never forget years ago, when I took my 3 year old grandson to Deadwood (no, it wasn't a gambling town, then). We went to the old fashioned soda fountain and ordered a sandwich and a drink. I turned away for barely a minute to pay the bill, and he had disappeared....I will never forget the feeling I got in the pit of my stomach....this was like 1986, before child abductions were of epidemic proportions. There were throngs of people by now and several minutes passed and I saw him and the look of sheer panic on his face....I can't explain the panic that both of us felt....

You all probably remember over 20 years ago, when John Walsh's wife took their son shopping at Sears and she was paying for an item and she had just looked at him playing nearby, then she looked a minute later and he was gone. His headless body was found...and to this day, it was never determined who killed him for sure although the evidence pointed to Oits O'Toole (I think that was the name).....Walsh is still very bitter about the police work which was done (happened in FL) at the time.

Guess my point is that it only takes seconds, minutes to lose sight of a child, and trust me, I am not excusing anyone for anything (that is my disclaimer), but I have experienced how fast it can happen.......People today are always on their phones, hang up and supervise the little ones...

That's the same story a witness told the day it happened. Wouldn't it be great if it turns out that she wasn't to blame for all this and all of the self righteous assholes that passed judgement on her felt like shit? Never happen because something else will pop up on their FB feed to judge and they will forget about it, but how cool would that be?
