Parents Drop Infant Into Cheetah Exhibit

DRAMA

Zoo wants to press charges.

The Cleveland Zoo is looking to press charges against the parents of a 2-year-old boy who fell into the cheetah exhibit on Saturday. Witnesses claimed the boy was held over the railing by his parents and then dropped. Luckily, the cheetahs ignored the boy, who suffered a leg injury.
