    An octopus is smart and he will understand the charges when they're pressed against him for assault. The first cephalopod prosecution in history😂

    keep the animals in aquariums& zoos, stop with karen’s , we need education with touch as well with sight.

    It is good that they mentioned the "most important" data… that it has 2 million views!

    Octopus should NOT be in a tank where anyone can touch it!!!! They’re predators

    So was like Octopus was trying to escape the tank? Did the child reach inside the tank to touch it?
    Report doesn't state that at all. Are people crafting stories just to blame mother and don't care about why such huge octopuses were in open tank in first place?

    Anyways, glad the child's okay. What the heck is touch tanks? I am hearing it for first time and instantly dislike it. It's stupid.

    So let's get this straight the octopus put his tentacles over the enclosure and grabbed her? Oh no that's right dumb parent let her reach up into tank! Not octopus' fault. She should be fined.

    Octupus are known to be highly intelligent so why tf is it on a touch tank

    Just to be clear, she raised he kid up and over the tank so he could intially reach it. Terrible parenting.

    God this woman is stupid. She lifted her kid up into the tank, then blames the zoo. The octopus wasn't in a touch tank, so the news is either wrong or were lied to. Pretty easy to realize it isn't a touch tank because of the tall barrier keeping you away from the octopus. "Journalism" in 2025…

    "There was no sign that said not to" is the most ghetto courthouse excuse to not using or having common sense. You made a mistake that you should have learned from not provided improper hospitality because you were dumb enough to do something like this.

    I have a 6 year old son as well. If you're going to invade an intelligent animal in its domain, which was imposed on him by his humans, then you should be reasonable enough to expect the same done to you by the same animal you are man handling. If you can freely touch him, he should be able to touch you, no?

    Britney loves the attention. Kids fine she's a Karen likely looking for a payout and 15 minutes of fame.

    She more "traumatized" than the kid.
