When stupid people kill their kids

Ordinarily, if an adult had been the victim here, I'd be making jokes but, not when it's a child...

MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida toddler was strangled on Wednesday by a 12-foot (3.6-meter) albino Burmese python that escaped from a holding tank in the girl's home, authorities said.
The pet's owner, a boyfriend of the child's mother, found the python on top of the 2-year-old girl in the rural community of Oxford, about 50 miles northwest of Orlando.

The python apparently broke free in the night, entered the girl's bedroom and attacked her.

"This is very rare," Patricia Behnke of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission told reporters.

First, how stupid and incompetent of a mother must you be, to allow your idiot, Peter-Pan syndromed boyfriend to live in a house with your female child? You don't do that!
Second, what responsible, grown man owns large, carnivorous reptiles as pets? I'll bet this guy was that high-school dropout who hung around the roller-rink parking lot macking on 15 year-old girls because he couldn't relate to adult women.
Last, if you are going to keep a large snake in your house, how do you not make absolutely sure he can't escape, knowing that the baby will be it's first victim.

How many times do I have to say it? You cannot under any circumstances form a bond of trust and friendship with a reptile, as if it's a cat or dog. You are nothing but it's next meal if you give it the opportunity to eat you or a member of your family.

Idiots! I swear!!!
