“”Where can society go to sue the parents for not being diligent enough to keep their 3 year old from getting bitten by a poisonous snake?””
I’m not going to go that far but I will say the parents hold the majority of blame in this one. I live in rattler country (Western Diamondbacks) and You don’t even think about letting a child run around let alone a toddler. Last week I killed 9 rattlers just crawling across ranch roads. I’d like to here the story on how and where the child got bit.
yikes....where do you live?
Agree with your sentiment, I go hiking in the mountains of Reno almost every day. Encountering rattlers is something that goes with the territory but there is no valid reason to practice Darwinism.
Pet dogs are the largest victims, people let their dogs run wild and children are no different.
Letting a small child meet a rattlesnake and a rural hospital (they especially should know better) not treating the child is double incompetence.
