In a Cambridgeshire zoo, a three-year-old boy was deliberately thrown into a crocodile enclosure by a man who has since been arrested and released pending further investigation.

This act of deliberate violence against the most vulnerable forces us to reckon with the fragility of the boundaries we construct, both physical and moral, between the innocent and the dangerous.
