Man throws 3 year old into Crocodile enclosure

[butchstewie]

I don't even know what to say

Man arrested after boy injured in zoo crocodile enclosure

Thought they said that on the news but assumed I misheard. Went on the BBC and there it is.

What the hell.

[Trevor555]

No way!!!!

We go to the butchers there.

Words fail me, hope the little one pulls through...

[clarkmagpie]

Was expecting that to be America not here!

[peterperkins]

My mind was boggled and horrified by this.
Random nutter picks up your child and feeds it to the crocodiles. WtF...

One has to assume the suspect has very serious mental health problems.
I doubt we will be seeing them in public for a very long time. Sectioned or prison surely...

Victim and Assailant not known to each other.

WTAF

[bunchofkeys]

Either a nutter, like the one that threw the boy at the Tate.
Or the suspect was monitored and known to the police.

fking tragic either way for the kid and family.

Reminiscent of this case where a stranger threw a 6 year old child off a balcony at the Tate Modern.

[Milkyway]

Jeez.
We've banged up some despicable people in the past... This thing is up there with the worst of them.
I hope that they have got the nutters bed ready at Broadmoor... He's going to have a very long time to make some new friends.

Heart goes out to the poor child & family.

Exactly what came to my mind when I heard the report. See also Tube pushers, various, over the years.

There is usually a common denominator!

I can never decide whether it is getting worse or we just see a lot more of it with the press now.

I think that we are probably getting better in many ways, but the worst incidents are horrific and widely publicised

This. There is so much more media nowadays than in the past, local news becomes international and is too easy to think we are all going to hell in a handcart.
