Parental Stupidity

From the BBC:

"Justice for Harambe: Mother harassed online after gorilla shot dead"

The mother of a boy who fell into a gorilla enclosure at a US zoo has become the victim of online abuse after zookeepers shot the animal dead. Harambe, a 17-year-old gorilla, was captured on video dragging the child across a moat in the enclosure. The boy's mother, identified on social media as Michelle Gregg, is heard shouting in footage of the incident. She tells her son to remain calm, after he had climbed through a barrier and fallen into the pen at Cincinnati Zoo. A Facebook post, purportedly written by Michelle Gregg, thanked "the right people" for being "in the right place" and said "accidents happen".    Ms Gregg later became the focus of a furious online backlash after zoo officials defended the decision to shoot the animal. Some even called for Ms Gregg to be dismissed from her job. Ms Gregg posted on Facebook after the incident and at about the same time a Facebook group called Justice for Harambe was set up. An online petition signed by more than 300,000 people was also created, calling for her to be held accountable for Harambe's death.  Michelle Gregg's Facebook page has since been deleted, after many accused her of being a bad mother. Other social media users with the same name have been dragged into the debate after being mistakenly targeted.

^ I posted about this right after it happened and even after learning more about it believe that Michelle Gregg needs to be held accountable for her actions (or I should say her mis-actions) that led her son to fall into the enclosure and resulted in Harambe being killed. I do not believe people should take justice in their own hands and go after her, but that the proper government officials need to get involved (the police, child welfare, etc.) The fact that this woman wrote such a nonchalant post making the innocent Harambe out to be the one at fault when in fact all he did was stay in his enclosure as he was supposed to makes me understand why people hate this woman so much. Had she shown any remorse at all instead of making everything seem like no big deal and that an innocent animal was killed because of her stupidity would have lessen (but not done completely away with) the back-lash she is now experiencing. The fact that she works at a child care makes this even worse. She can't even take care of her own child so why is she being allowed to watch other children? There needs to be an investigation into both the zoo and the gorilla enclosure as well as into this woman's ability to watch over her or anyone's children. She is NOT the victim here! The victims are her son and Harambe since one fell  and another was killed for not being properly supervised. ^
