Remember that horrifying story about the toddler who fell into the wild dogs exhibit at the Pittsburgh Zoo and was mauled to death? We couldn't imagine how awful that was for the boy's mother, Elizabeth Derkosh. So I learned today that she will not be charged in the death of her son, and my first thought was -- that was a possibility?!? I mean, I know there are plenty of people out there eager to blame the poor woman. But did anyone seriously think that would be the most logical next step, charging her? But there it is. Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. called it a "tragic accident." I guess there was an investigation? And he explained how that little boy fell into the exhibit in the first place -- it's a perfectly reasonable explanation.Image may be NSFW.
