To think carers should be jailed

That man who threw that poor child into the alligator enclosure is said to be severely mentally disabled. He was out with 2 carers who clearly weren't watching him when this happened. Witnesses have said they were on their phones. AIBU to say they should be charged for this incident?

To be honest this is not the first time i have heard about carers being totally negligent and getting away with it. Instead the care company they worked for was sued. Which will probably happen here. But i think its totally wrong that the people directly responsible can walk off into the sunset with no repercussions. There needs to be more liability put on people in this position.

Oh I don’t know! It’s such a hard question. I think none of us public know the full details so it’s too hard to answer. You’ve obviously been told the carers were on phones, but is this true? We can’t give suggestion without knowing all the details. Such a sad situation.
