We really shouldn't have to say this: Please don't dangle your child over a group of deadly, hungry animals.

A woman was at the Metroparks Zoo in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday afternoon with her two-year-old son, and they were looking at some cheetahs. So she decided to dangle him over their pit.

And then, she dropped him.

He fell about 10 feet and hurt his leg, but that was the least of his problems. He was alone with a bunch of cheetahs who easily could've pounced before help got there.

Thankfully, they didn't. For whatever reason, they never even wandered his way. His parents hopped into the pit and pulled him out. then he went to the hospital for his leg.

Now his mother could be facing child endangerment charges.
