This was just a very unfortunate accident that could have been easily avoided
The only reason it has become headline material is because of new laws in the USA about keeping the big 5 snakes
This was just a baby burmese
The parents were careless and will have nightmares about this forever
But how many babies get killed each year by a cat smothering them??
Or a pet dog rips a kids throat out one day??
Or a 3 year kid kills a new born baby through being jealous of attention??
In those cases it is put down as accidental death and forgotten about by the media
Yet that same media wants to crucify these parents
If they had owned some illegal fighting dog or other illegal 'fluffy' pet that killed the kid nothing would have been mentioned and no trial would be happening
I am not supporting what they did in any way shape manner or form
But this type of hypocrisy/double standard by law makers and media is very wrong
