''A snake (as big as that which attacked Tammy) could easily do the same to an infant.'' - As if parents would just leave their babies in the backyard alone to roam free range lol journos :lol:

The council should definitely get themselves into shape n get that grass cut, such simple measures to avoid all of this nonsense in the first place really.
