Gorilla killed

Honestly?

Kidnappings can happen anywhere, especially in crowded places.  Those who kidnap know this, and parents make the claim they took their eyes off the kid for a second.

Sometimes the fault does lie with the parent(s).

No that's not at all how it works. I see young kids (under 10) all the time that are 4 or 5 metres behind their parents in public places. All the time. Kidnappings by strangers are extremely rare in the modern developed world, and if they're going to happen they're going to happen. As my aunt would say, there's no point in surrounding your child in cotton-wool the whole of their childhoods because something 'might' happen. Your kids are far more likely to be kidnapped by their parent or another family member. Now yes of course this was a 4-year old, so the parents should keep a close eye on their child - but they can't possibly be expected to anticipate every possible source of danger that exists, it would drive a person mad. There's no way the parents could have known that the enclosure's borders were not secure enough to keep 4 year olds out. It's a perfectly reasonable assumption to make that the enclosure is child-proofed.
