Well, at least he didn't bash them to death with rocks.

And besides, the animals got back at him. PERMANENTLY.

How can the parents allow a 7 year old boy go by himself to the zoo in a town like Alice Springs? (26 486 inhabitans in 2005 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_S...hern Territory) Was he on his way to school or something? The only time I walked alone when I was 7 was when visiting friends (and we live in a small place).

hello, this isn't a Steve bashing thread. keep your thoughts about him to yourself.

If this happened in Alice Springs, it's not Australia Zoo which is over in Queensland.

*Scandia* · 10-23-2008, 08:23 PM

That is so horrible. I'm appalled to say the least.

See what happens to kids who can't play violent video games?

...I'm so confused. Why haven't I heard of this? *runs off to research*

Okay, so here's the deal.

Apparently it's in Alice Springs, not Steve Irwin's Australian Zoo. And Alice Springs is one of THE most remote areas in Australia. A small town thriving on tourists going to Uluru. Lots of crazy people seem to come out of there, so part of me isn't surprised that this happened there. But to see just one child kill so many reptiles (even bearded dragons! Some of my favourite animals were in there) is simply sickening. Bloody brat will probably get off with nothing, but I'm hoping that his parents are decent and will have him punished.

Then again, if he managed to get by them and pull a stunt like this, they are probably not likely to do anything but pay money for him. *sighs*

What I want to know is how this kid managed to get a hold of weapons. His parents suck for allowing the child the means to do this, however it came about.

*Buslady* · 10-24-2008, 07:24 AM

time for the zoo to install better security systems i think
i hope they sue the pants off the kid's parents...I'd like to know how the hell did a 7 year old wansered in like that, where the hell were his parents? that's just insane.

That part was apparently an error by the Today Show (as I noted in the Edit of my original post). He used some rocks (most likely from the zoo area).
