What we’re reading today:
1. So, we’re all pretty much on the ball in terms of advising kids not to talk to strangers, right? Good. Have you informed the little ones not to touch man-eating animals? No? You might want to get on that or else you could find yourself in the same position as this Brazilian mom who walked into her living room and discovered her 3-year-old son petting a five-foot alligator on the head. Thankfully, the alligator wasn’t hungry so there was no attack. Via BBC
2. Ever threaten unruly kids with a call to the cops? Yeah, one couple in Staten Island wanted to scare their 6-year-old into better behaviour, so they took her to the police station… where the police then charged the parents with child endangerment. Via New York Daily News
