A woman visiting a zoo in Uzbekistan threw her 3-year-old daughter at the living space of a bear named Zuzu, according to video captured by a security camera. The woman, after lowering her 3-year-old daughter over the railings, lets go of her daughter’s hands and pushes her into the bear area. The girl was taken out of her place by the six officers who arrived immediately after the incident. The 3-year-old girl was taken to the hospital with minor head injuries.
The mother, who was said to be mentally ill, was arrested and will face charges of “attempted murder,” according to local officials. If the mother is found guilty, she will be sentenced to 15 years in prison.
