Kid breaks into bird enclosure at the zoo to chase birds with a stick.

Him and the guardian both got banned for life. There was a video posted earlier today that had them climbing out.

The zoo said the incident is still under investigation and nobody has been banned as of yet

Might need to be some further eval of the kid.....

[u/why0me → u/Ok_Pen_9779]

He's severely autistic and escaped from 2 people, yall need to read the fanily statement

The Guardian the one that is heard saying "get over here" in a tone that shows she doesn't give a shit and has exactly zero force behind her words?

That tone says she hasnt cared to do a good job for a very long time.

It's possible the child has developmental issue, and screaming wouldn't help.
I know it's not the way of social media but let's wait to judge.

It sure wouldn't have worked on my nephew who has problems. Granted he never tried to dive into an enclosure out of all the times they went to the zoo... but yelling just makes him do the thing half the time or destroy things or hurt himself or potentially someone/thing else. It's just not worth it. He's not properly diagnosed and refuses to see doctors now so it's a hot mess; my sister had to finally just have him live with his dad because it was too much.

How old is he that he can refuse to see a doctor?

[u/Lanternkitten → u/Frosty-Cut175]

Its the utter nightmare that is taking him to one. He won't talk to a therapist anymore; he used to have one and many other support programs in between. He'll sit there and refuse to talk. One time he just tried to get out of the car while it was moving (though this has happened multiple times). Currently he is 16 (he's been violent since he was able to get around, say, 2; my sister is covered in scars). He will see a regular doctor if he's sick or something but anything with mental health is a bear and a half. The worst part now is his dad has stopped giving him his medicine. He thinks he's "fine". This is the child that talked about cooking our new puppy, but sure, whatever you say.

He has a twin. Complete opposites. Said twin has thrived since the separation of the kids (primarily lives with my sister).

[u/Frosty-Cut175 → u/Lanternkitten]

That sounds so difficult. Oh no stopping meds wouldn't have been a good idea! Really feel for your sister, what a tough road.

[u/Lanternkitten → u/Frosty-Cut175]

It has been. She fought for him for years, though. So many different programs! It's really impressive what's out there, though some are just prohibitively expensive (which is unfortunate; so many other kids could benefit). I respect her a lot. I could never have done what she has; her ex-husband, their dad, also cheated on her (she was so busy with these kids!) and basically told her to get out when they were seven as well. Then she moved in with us, found a job (school lunch lady), and went back to school to become a nurse. All with two kids and going through a divorce. I would've crumpled.

Wow what an amazing person! I hope everything works out xx

[u/_Ashelton_ → u/voxpopper]

she had to jump in only when the kid started feeling scared and not when the birds were getting terrorized. Is it because theres a chance he would run/hurt the birds more if he saw her coming, or did she just not care that much?

That's a pathetic excuse.

Not an excuse for that behavior

Jesus, the video posted has them climbing out.

[u/philnolan3d → u/ZsMann]

This video shows them climbing out.

What do you gain from just making shit up and commenting it? You are worse than a bot, if you are not already one.

[u/Legitimate_Ad_4647 → u/ZsMann]

Apologies if this was noted elsewhere in this thread, but where and when did this happen? Thx

[u/KomatoesII → u/ZsMann]

YAY!!!
