Observant?
So, some idiot that lives in our area, decided to “take care” of his buddy’s boa constrictor, while having his 3 year old in the house. Let’s set this up, just so you know, this thing was like 10 feet long and close to 2 feet wide. At some point, the thing got out of it’s enclosure, which from the looks of things was a room too small for him. My guess…..he knocked the door down and took off for a bigger place in the house, but who knows. I believe they lived in a trailer park. What I do know is, he got ahold of the 3 year old and bit him, not once but a couple of times. The parents excuse? They didn’t know it was loose. So….how does that conversation go, “Honey, have you seen that little rascal, tiny?” “that little bugger is always up to something.” Remember, the thing is 10 feet long, how do you NOT SEE it.
They had to finally shoot the thing, and still the parents thought nothing of it. At least, that is the way it was reported. From the looks of the video and what the mother said, they reported it correctly. Why, do you not, cite parents in that situation for not protecting their child. First, you have to be oblivious to where your child is, second to where the snake was. The problem here, they didn’t seem to care where either of them were.
I don’t know maybe it’s just me, but at all times I would want to know that snake was locked up and asleep, not wrapped around my three year old.
But hey………..that’s just me!
