Boy Dangeled Over Cheetah Exhibit, Mother Charged

Mother charged after witnesses stated that her two-year-old son was dangled over the edge of the cheetah exhibit Cleveland cheetah exhibit Saturday, and then was dropped. Although, the child was recovered by the two parents at the zoo, but only the mother was charged for endangering the welfare of her son. Both the parents went quickly down to the exhibit to retrieve him, and neither of the zoo's cheetahs (two 4-year-old males) even bothered to interact with the trespassers. Zoo caregiver's told the media that the cheetah's are well kept and maintain a weekly diet of rabbits, horse meat and chicken. The Ohio mother's child suffered from minor leg injuries.
