Can anyone help me understand what this means?

[itsgettingweird]

I’ve been reading that the man responsible for throwing the child into the crocodile enclosure has been placed on conditional bail as they aren’t considered fit enough for questioning.

What are the conditions likely to be? Are they monitored? Is it released to a secure hospital?

Otherwise it seems strange to me someone too unwell to be questioned but unwell enough to throw a 3yo to a crocodile is deemed well enough to be allowed to roam the streets again?

If that's directed at me, I didn't really follow the Tate incident.

I'm following this more as I've had a lot of experience with adults who have severe autism/learning disabilities. I either know this man or know others who are very similar so from my perspective I'm trying to understand how it happened.

@titchy let’s hope his 24 hour supervision is better than the supervision who took him out and allowed him to do this.

This wasn’t a waist high barrier.

Yes it was.

There were the same nutters blaming the parents for not watching/being close enough in that case too.

We literally have no idea where the parents were, where the carers were, if the man had any ill intent, if the child was lifted or thrown, if there was any foreseeable risk etc etc

If the man had any ill intent? Are you serious? 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

I thought he had a history of mental illness. This guy is learning disabled so v different. He most likely lives in residential care/ with his parent(s) and might already have restrictions on his freedom anyway such as not going out unaccompanied.

I thought there were whistleblowers from his hospital who appeared anonymously to say he shouldn't have been discharged from hospital

It’s nothing to do with “dangerous animals”. It’s humans who ate dangerous and perhaps we need better risk assessment processes in place for people with SN/MH issues. This problem is not new but let’s not blame innocent animals or zoos.

It was the fall onto concrete that injured him not the crocodile.

Having now seen the photo of the fence, it looks inadequate. Some fault lies with the zoo. It would be easy to lift up a child and throw him over - the safety fence is not high enough!

Safety comes first - the zoo really needs to update all their enclosures. Horrific that it took this incident for force them to realise that that fence is too short.

He was also attacked by a crocodile which clearly caused injury too, this is reported in all main outlets.

If an 18 month old child pushed another child off a slide onto a concrete surface beneath would the intent be for the other child to injure themselves on the concrete or would the intent be wanting to remove the child from the space they were in?

Ditto if they pushed the child towards a wild animal?

There are adults with learning disabilities that may have the strength of any other man but have the cognitive understanding of an 18 month old.
.

Yes, you have no idea what his intent was, do you?

Child is reported as no longer critical which is good news.

Today it’s reported that the carers tried to drive off with the attacker but were stopped by a member is staff from leaving the scene.
