No charges against boy's mother in gorilla death case

No charges will be brought against the mother of a boy who got into the gorilla exhibit at Cincinnati Zoo, a prosecutor has announced, saying the three-year-old "just scampered off".

The shooting of a gorilla that was dragging the child through a moat on May 28 set off a torrent of criticism online, with some attacking the zoo for the animal's death and others blaming the mother for not watching her child more closely.
