This is one of the major reasons why we don't allow any of our large constrictors to be on the floor with the public - too many whackos out there and too easy for someone to accidentally or purposefully step on their head. Instead, when we have a large constrictor at a big show or event, they are placed on a table where they are less likely to be hurt. But, its something we are always aware of and have had some close "ugly" encounters. If parents have kids who are predisposed to bad behavior (that usually equates to kids being "time out" kids instead of using proper "butt whoopin'" techniques that are tried and proven) they need to keep a better eye on them. It's a very sad and unfortunate situation.
