Parents charged after toddler slips into wolf area and gets hurt at Hersheypark zoo

The parents of a toddler have been charged with endangering the welfare of children after the child squeezed through a fence at a Pennsylvania theme park zoo and made contact with a wolf. The child suffered a minor injury Saturday at ZooAmerica at Hersheypark. Police say the parents were about 25 to 30 feet away and appeared to be paying attention to their cellphones. The child went through a wooden barrier and put a hand through a metal fence. A wolf grabbed onto the hand with its mouth. Bystanders intervened to help. The parents await a preliminary hearing. There were no attorneys listed for them.
