Negligent parents face child endangerment charges after their young child suffered a minor injury at a Pennsylvania theme park zoo, drawing attention from their cellphones.
In a disturbing incident at a Pennsylvania theme park zoo, a toddler managed to squeeze through a fence and make contact with a wolf, resulting in minor injuries. The parents of the child have now been charged with endangering the welfare of children, with police accusing them of being distracted by their cellphones at the time of the incident.
According to the police news release, the parents had wandered about 25 to 30 feet away from the child to a seating area with benches, where they appeared to be engrossed in their mobile devices when they noticed what was happening at ZooAmerica in Hersheypark.
