First Picture Of Parents Accused Of Neglect After Boy Fell Into Gorilla Enclosure

The parents whose son fell into the gorilla enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo this weekend have been pictured for the first time.
Michelle Gregg, 32, and Deonne Dickerson, 37, have been accused of neglect after their four-year-old dropped 15ft into the animal’s pen.
Staff at the zoo were forced to shoot dead Harambe, a 17-year-old western lowland gorilla, after it picked up the boy.
In a statement, the family confirmed that their son was “doing just fine”.
“We are so thankful to the Lord that our child is safe. We extend our heartfelt thanks for the quick action by the Cincinnati Zoo staff,” they added.
“We know that this was a very difficult decision for them, and that they are grieving the loss of their gorilla. We hope that you will respect our privacy at this time.”
