A prosecutor said Monday that no charges will be filed against the mother of a 3-year-old boy, who got into the Cincinnati Zoo's gorilla exhibit resulting in the shooting of an endangered gorilla to protect him. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said that the child's mother was watching three other children when the three-year-old "just scampered off."
