That doesn't mean they couldn't have at any given moment.
So, moral of the story...make sure if/when you have kids, there isn't ever an instant when you don't have your full attention on them and they end up on the national news, making you look like a shitty parent. Then others can stand in judgement of you.
Thank you for that modicum of parenting. Did it seem like a lot to ask when you brought them back to the safety of your home? I would hope not.
And to be clear, there would never be a life threatening situation where my children wouldn't have my full attention. They wouldn't find themselves in that situation. If someone threw them into that enclosure I would be down there before he hit the ground. The gorilla would have to kill me first. But MY child would NEVER wander into that situation.
