To think carers should be jailed

[InBedBy10]

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.

Not only that but we don't even know that they were on their phones. Closest we've got is someone who was in the zoo that day saw some people who might have been carers (which also means they might not have been) on their phones at some point during the day. The OP is completely premature.

it is the Directors of adults and children's social Services who should be held accountable as they are the persons responsible for making decisions to cut provision and services for the most vulnerable whilst they sit in their private offices receiving pay checks over twice what the Prime Minister of the UK gets. It is these decision makers that should be prosecuted and held liable like Sharon Shoesmith was for the more serious case of Peter Connolly, Director of Children's services in Buckinghamshire Richard Nash and a lot more. local authorities overpay Chief Executives and Directors including the Childrens and adults social care whilst the most vulnerable can't have their needs met because they plead poverty. Croydon is an example. It has been in financial crisis for years and yet they can afford to pay a woman in her 70s £800 a day to do the post of Director of children’s services and also pay the salary of the Chief Executive of Greenwich Council Debbie Warren her full chief executive salary whilst she goes to Croydon to act as Finance manager and sort out Croydons finances. How is this right in any way? It is Directors and Chief Executives who award themselves inflated salaries that are hugely detrimental to the most needy that need to be named and prosecuted each and every time a safeguarding incident occurs. Instead anger is directed to the vulnerable and minimum wage workers. Only once they these Directors and Chief Executives are named and prosecuted will any change occur.
