Parents Of Boy That Fell Into Gorilla Pit At Cincinnati Zoo Leading To Animal Being Killed By Staff Are Under Investigation By Police

The parents of 4-year-old boy, Isaiah Dickerson, are facing a police investigation in Cincinnati, Ohio, after their son fell 10-feet into a gorilla pen, leading to a zoo response team shooting and killing endangered silverback Harambe. After an argument with his mother, demanding he be allowed to go in the water, to which she repeatedly stated no, Isaiah broke free. The child crawled through a hole in a fence, tumbled downward, then fell into the gorilla pen. Harambe and two female gorillas were present. 

Harambe looked at the child in disbelief and wonderment, clearing wondering what the boy was doing in the pen that is not a human habitat. Onlookers began screaming and leaning forward towards the pen, which unintentionally spooked the gorilla. Not realizing his own strength, Harambe lifted the child off the ground, causing the boy to hit his head. He sustained a concussion from the blow.

Harambe, trying to escape the loud noise, dragged the child away from the crowd, who were looking down into the pen, while frantically screaming in fear for the boy's safety. Harambe then held the child's hand. As the screaming continued, Harambe fixed the back of the child's shirt and used it to drag him further away from the crowd again. They fell out of sight for 10 minutes. The entire ordeal lasted 20-minutes before an emergency response team shot Harambe dead. Little Isaiah witnessed the shooting and will need therapy.

Some online are outraged at Isaiah's parents for failing to properly supervise the child. People are calling for them to face criminal charges over Harambe's death. The couple has been issued death threats. Some are also stating the gorilla was not going to kill the child. However, they don't know that for sure. A 400-pound gorilla does not know its strength and could seriously injury a person, especially a child. Harambe had already accidentally caused the child to hit his head against the wall. It is truly regrettable the gorilla was killed. However, these wild animals should not be in captivity in the first place for human amusement.

My first thought regarding Isaiah was how did this boy get loose from his mother's care and into the gorilla pen. You know when you're about to get self-righteous and God brings something back to your memory. When I was about age 6, my mom and I went for a weekend at a great hotel in the countryside. It had a massive pool. My dad, a former professional athlete, taught me to swim from the time I was about 4-years old. Then he asked one of his friends, a former Olympic swimmer, to help me improve my swimming. 

It worked like a charm, because while at the hotel with my mom that weekend, I decided I was Jacques Cousteau and was going to touch the bottom of the pool...on the deep end. And within seconds I did. My mother panicked. When I surfaced, proud of my little accomplishment, my mother looked like she was gonna kill me. She didn't hit me (there were too many witnesses LOL) but make no mistake, she was yelling. So yea, sometimes kids do things they should not.

Side Bar: The zoo may get sued over the incident. Some lawyers will pursue the family and convince them everything was the zoo's fault and that they are entitled to millions, due to the hole/breach in the fence little Isaiah found and crawled through into the gorilla pen. However, such a lawsuit will not go over well with the public.

Man Arrested For Stalking 10-Year-Old Boy Via GPS After Trying And Failing To Adopt Him And Another Boy He Molested

William Thomas Duncan

41-year-old William Thomas Duncan Jr., owner of Infinity Distribution Services Inc, is under arrest after giving a 10-year-old boy three gifts that contained GPS tracking devices, he used to stalk the minor. The three gifts were a computer tablet, a stuffed animal and board game. Duncan previously tried to adopt the boy, but was rejected by the state.

Court documents also reveal a previous cases, regarding Duncan trying to adopt another 10-year-old boy, but was rejected after disturbing behavior. Department of Social Services allowed Duncan to have weekend visits with two boys on separate occasions that resulted in highly questionable behavior. In the first incident, Duncan rubbed lotion on the 10-year-old's genitals, claiming the child had a rash. He was rejected from adopting the boy after the incident.

In what is baffling, the Department of Social Services, allowed Duncan to have another weekend visit with a second boy (the one who was subsequently stalked). The boy stayed at Duncan's home for the weekend, which should not have happened after the incident with the first child. However, Duncan's adoption was again declined after he slept in the same bed as the second 10-year-old and pressed his body up against the boy. Duncan is clearly a pedophile, who poses a very serious danger to children.

After the second adoption was denied, Duncan showed up at the boy's school with a lunch bag, claiming the child had forgotten his lunch. Inside the lunch bag was a mobile phone and note stating, "At this point, it is you and me against DDS." Using the GPS tracker in the gifts given to the boy, Duncan also stalked the child on a school field trip to a local zoo in North Carolina. Authorities revealed, the boy was terrified believing Duncan was coming to get him at the zoo in an incident the pedophile labeled a "coincidence." The GPS tracker also enabled Duncan to find out where the boy lives. 

As seen in Hollywood cases regarding depraved celebrities, people are hiring private investigators not as a means of lawfully gaining information to protect themselves or to uncover bad behavior by partners or spouses, but to engage in criminal stalking, harassment, invasion of privacy and terrorization of innocent people they become obsessed with.

Private investigators are being hired by pedophiles and other perverts to help them stalk innocent people who want nothing to do with them. Stalking is a crime. It denoted serious mental illness. The average person knows stalking is wrong. Anyone who goes as far as to hire a private investigator to help them stalk someone is mentally far gone and should not be free.

A Virginia Beach man has been charged with stalking a 10-year-old boy he had unsuccessfully tried to adopt

William Thomas Duncan Jr., 41, showed up earlier this month at the boy’s school and later while the child was on a field trip at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, according to court documents. The problem: Duncan wasn’t supposed to know where the North Carolina boy lived or went to school. And he’d previously given the boy three items with GPS trackers hidden inside, documents said.

A federal magistrate on Tuesday ordered Duncan – the CEO of Infinity Distribution Services Inc. in Virginia Beach – held without bond on one count of interstate stalking. If convicted, Duncan faces up to five years in prison. In an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court, Homeland Security Investigations Agent Kristin Joseph said Duncan tried to adopt two 10 year-old boys in the past two years from different counties in North Carolina.

Both adoptions were denied. The first rejection came after Duncan applied lotion to the boy’s genitals for a possible rash, the affidavit said. Officials in another county initially agreed in July to let a second boy visit Duncan on the weekends, but they removed him from Duncan’s care in September after learning of the first denial. Joseph said Duncan slept in the same bed as the boy and pressed his body against him.

Joseph said Duncan was ordered to return the boy’s property. Three of the items turned over to the Randolph County Department of Social Services, however, were not familiar to the child. Among them were a computer tablet, a Sorry board game and a stuffed animal. Investigators found GPS devices hidden inside the tablet case and the stuffed animal and mixed in with the board game’s pieces, according to the affidavit.

Joseph said Duncan showed up at the boy’s school Nov. 4 with a lunch bag, claiming the child had forgotten his lunch. Inside, investigators found a cellphone and a letter instructing the boy not to tell anyone about it and to text him with an “identification code.” “At this point, it is you and me against DSS,” the letter said, according to Joseph...

Joseph added that the boy “curled up in a ball” earlier this month when a police officer went to his house to talk about the incident at the zoo. The boy thought it was Duncan coming to get him, Joseph said.

3-Year-Old Boy Mauled To Death By Wild Dogs At Pittsburgh Zoo

 

Yesterday, a three year old toddler was mauled to death by 11 African Painted dogs, after he fell into the enclosure at the Pittsburgh Zoo in Pennsylvania. Zoo employees were unable to reach the boy until it was too late.

Police were forced to shoot and kill one of the most aggressive dogs that would not back away from the child. Head of the Pittsburgh Zoo, Barbara Baker stated, "The keepers tried everything they could do. They responded immediately when visitors alerted them to the fact that a child was in the yard."

This horrific, preventable tragedy will undoubtedly result in lawsuits, which are richly deserved for this safety and security lapse. This zoo needs to be shutdown until it is truly safe, lest another tragedy occurs. The Judiciary Report sends its sincerest condolences to the little boy's family.
